NORSAR, a Norwegian earthquake monitoring agency, estimated the yield at 120\u00a0kilotons, significantly above the 15 kiloton \u201cLittle Boy\u201d bomb dropped on Hiroshima\u00a0and the 20 kiloton \u201cFat Man\u201d dropped on Nagasaki at the end of World War Two.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"45\">\u201cThat scale is to the level where anyone can say (it is) a hydrogen bomb test,\u201d said Kune Y. Suh, a nuclear engineering professor at Seoul National University.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"46\">\u201cNorth Korea has effectively established itself as a nuclear state. This is not just a game changer, it\u2019s a game over,\u201d Suh said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"47\">Lassina Zerbo, executive secretary of nuclear test ban watchdog CTBTO, said: \u201cThe physics of the event that we\u2019re talking about today seems to indicate a much larger event than the one from 2016 and before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"48\">North Korea claims its intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) tested twice in July can reach large parts of the mainland United States.<\/p>\n<div class=\"RelatedVideo_related-video-module_mdV_X module\" dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"49\"><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"50\"><strong>But experts say it likely achieved that potential range only by topping the test missile with a payload lighter than any nuclear warhead it is currently able to produce.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"51\">Pyongyang is also yet to prove that any warhead it places on a long range-missile can survive re-entry into the earth\u2019s atmosphere after an intercontinental flight.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"52\">Developing a hydrogen bomb would be key to have a lighter warhead, because that would offer much greater explosive yield relative to size and weight.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"53\">\u201cGetting this high of a yield would likely require thermonuclear material in the device,\u201d said David Albright, a physicist and founder of the non-profit Institute for Science and International Security in Washington.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"54\">\u201cIt would show that their design, whatever the specific design, has achieved a yield that is capable of destroying modern cities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"55\">Albright, however, still questioned the North\u2019s claim that it was a genuine two-stage thermonuclear device.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"56\">North Korea said in January 2016 that it tested a miniaturized hydrogen bomb. But outside experts said it was likely a \u201cboosted\u201d device, meaning an atomic bomb which uses some hydrogen isotopes to create bigger yield.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"57\">TWO-STAGE REACTION?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"58\">A hydrogen bomb usually uses a primary atomic bomb to trigger a secondary, much larger explosion.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"59\">Such a weapon, with the first stage based on nuclear fission &#8211; splitting atoms &#8211; and the second on nuclear fusion, produces much more power than traditional atomic bombs, or \u201cpure fission\u201d devices.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"60\">Hours before the latest test, North Korean state media published photographs of leader Kim Jong Un inspecting a peanut-shaped device that it said was a hydrogen bomb designed to be loaded on a new ICBM.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"61\">The elongated shape of the device shows a marked difference from pictures of the ball-shaped device North Korea released in March last year, and appears to indicate the appearance of a two-stage thermonuclear weapon, experts said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"62\">\u201cThe bomb North Korea showed today, if you look at the shape, the front part looks like an atomic bomb which triggers nuclear fission and the back part, a second stage that generates nuclear fusion reactions,\u201d said Chang Young-keun, a rocket science expert at the Korea Aerospace University.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"64\">Once nuclear fusion is started, fast neutrons are created which once again trigger nuclear fission of uranium inside the bomb.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"65\">\u201cThis means explosions can happen double and triple. And that\u2019s why its power is great. Even if it\u2019s the same size and weight,\u00a0 if it\u2019s a hydrogen bomb, its power can be tens or hundreds times bigger,\u201d Chang said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"66\">North Korea\u2019s Nuclear Weapons Institute said Sunday\u2019s test verified the functioning of a hydrogen bomb, including the \u201cfission to fusion power rate and all other physical specifications reflecting the qualitative level of a two-stage thermo-nuclear weapon,\u201d according to the official KCNA news agency.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"67\">For the first time, North Korea also specifically mentioned the possibility of a electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, attack. Such a strike would involve detonating a bomb in the atmosphere, instead of firing a long-range missile at a major U.S. city.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some U.S. policymakers and experts have raised concerns about such an attack, which could cause a massive power surge and deal a devastating blow to U.S. electric grid and critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korea\u2019s claim of a successful hydrogen bomb test marks a major step in the isolated country\u2019s long-stated goal of developing a nuclear-tipped missile that puts the U.S. mainland within range, experts say.
