I was under the impression the US developed technology for detecting concealed nuclear weapons.

A new method of detection may mean safer shores

Not useful for this.

It would have to be a container, taken off and then very locally bombarded with gamma rays, from your link.

A ship that didn’t unload a container or stayed out of dock would be able to launch.

They would not need to be nuclear. Lots of conventional warheads could also be devastating.

I sure hope this part is true.

I don’t trust Communists. Some of them tell us they are quite directly. Others don’t. Our leaders should be more mindful.

They have...and not just nuclear. Chemical explosives off-gas signal chemicals that can be detected by portable instruments simply by pulling an air sample from the container.

That article is from April, 2016, five years ago. Got anything more recent?

I highly doubt many, if any, of these containers contain nuclear weapons. Likely all conventional missiles, which can still do quite a bit of damage.

Now they might load a couple nukes if they know they're getting started soon, bit I doubt they have any (nukes) just sitting over here all the time.
