Building a nuclear weapon is one thing. Building a working trigger for it is quite another.

For all anybody knows Korea has nothing more than leftovers from the WWII Japanese atom bomb project that took place mostly in Korea.

Although they were building gigantic aircraft carrying submarines as well as jet planes to mount a direct invasion on the American mainland, they didn't succeed in building a working trigger.

That part of their program blew up at Harbin about a month before our first successful test at Alamagordo, NM.

No trigger means no bomb, and our guys are acting like they know exactly what Korea has and can't set off.

How about a chart showing overall "explosive yield". I would bet many of the warheads posessed by US and Russia are pretty 'small'.

One USN Ohio class sub has 24 Trident D-5 missiles each with 5 W88 475Kt MIRV warheads. Next to the US and Russia as a whole, that's more accurate and destructive power the any of the other nuclear nations listed.

We have 14 of them.

NOTE: the first flash movie entitled "The End of the World" is very well done, and puts the tense situation in a humorous light.

NOTE2: the flash movie is the first one at the top of the list. It takes a few moments to load. Turn the speakers up and hit "Play"

Of course North Korea has the same color on this map as Israel

Lots of countries not labeled "potential nuclear power" which could be at the drop of a hat, if they wanted to... most notably Japan. But really, what could stop, say, Norway from going nuclear?

Wasn't pre-Mandela South Africa rumored to have one or more nukes (courtesy of Israel)?
