Since 2006, North Korea has carried out five nuclear tests, including two last year.

I was staying in Seoul in September when the 5th test took place.

.....multiple reports of damage along China's border with Nk ...Quake was felt far away as Dandong.

[piytar]

Possibly. But it would have had to be one of the bigger ones.

[Rusty0604]

So nuke tests are called man made earthquakes in that neck of the woods?

[LukeL]

Some said it could be a cave in which would cause the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere.

[TankerKC]

Maybe it was a unicorn.

[exDemMom]

Clinton sold the missile technology to China.
He gave a green light to North Korea to develop their nuclear weapons. It was one of those *wink wink nudge nudge* agreements where the Norks got to develop nukes if they would *promise* to use the uranium only for power plants.

[struggle]

Yup, and coastal winds are now directing all wind from that area to Kyushu.

[TankerKC]

CNN experts now saying the US must come to the negotiating table.

Ludicrous.

[rdl6989]

Thanks for that info. If so our Constant Phoenix planes would pick up the radiation.

[morphing libertarian]

so your posit that NK has developed this technology to guide missiles without help from China?

I am aware of the idiots who negotiated with egomaniacal leaders of NK

[Husker24]

It would have to be to cause a 6.3, a big one.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Maybe we can give Nortu Korea CNN and call it a day

[Reno89519]

If this is surface or vented, we might see results downwind at some point. Here is private radiation network with one site more or less east. http://www.radiationnetwork.com/Japan.htm

I have monitor on this network (does any other FReepers have monitors on Radiation Network?). Mine is, obviously, the one on western border of Nevada.

A large “God Rod” (kinetic energy weapon only the US has) dropped from orbit, a nuke, or a chemical/oil plant blowing up are the only man-made things I’m aware of that could have the indicated profiles. Maybe there are other things, but not aware of any. If some else does, please share. Nothing natural does.

[Reno89519]

Wow, nuclear test and potential fallout is OUR fault.

[GnuThere]

Fat Boy got a bad batch of kimchi.

[SaveFerris]

I think we’re going to wind up going after NK.

Firing a missile over Japan? Hmmmm.

He sure does like to test the waters.

Well, I guess we’ll see. Yikes.
