Serious question don't know the effects are from whatever he may have in terms of devastation and radiation We've tested our on American soil. Plus theirs will probably be smaller than our smallest and they previously tested them underground. Edit: Do you mean testing in their country or launching them at us? |

Best Korea has nukes but no reliable delivery system. They're not nuking anything except maybe themselves.

Smartest thing they could do would be to get one on a sub and drive it up to a target and surface, but I'm sure they would detected well before they arrived and probably sank before they could detonate.

It will be like Chernobyl and 3-mile Island. You can't just wash away the radiation with soap and water. Chernobyl was basically a sustained nuclear reaction which ran uncontrolled until it ran out of fuel. A nuclear weapon is an instantaneous reaction which runs out of fuel immediately. |

It would hurt our ability for sustain operations in the region, and it would goad Japan into a reaction, which would piss off the South Koreans, the Chinese, the Vietnamese, and pretty much everyone else in Asia big time. |

The site they attacked would be livable after cleanup. North Korea, not so much.

Because a ship or a cargo/commercial airliner is not a reliable delivery system. One going off in a harbor of NYC or right near another economic engine that this nation relies would be devastating to this nations economy. Quote HistoryQuoted:

IIRC the really dangerous fallout produced by a nuclear weapon has an extremely short halflife, so it doesn't take long for it to peter out to safe levels.
Chernobyl/Fukushima/etc are a different story. |

I think the really big deal about the one they are going to test next is the first one small enough to mount on a ballistic missal. Everything they have tested before was too large to mount on something that would fly with it.
Google about how Hawaii is preparing for such a hit, 4600 miles away and they could be reached from NK with what they have now. May all be over reacting but it is serious stuff. Soul would take a beating if anything broke out. |

Depends on the bomb. We talking a thermo(fusion/fission) or atomic (fission), or neutron?

I imagine he has something along the lines of of what we hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki with... probably a little more powerful.
Those places are still thriving cities. We aren't talking Chernobyl level abandon and never return. Or Bikini atoll either... You'd want to steer clear of the area for a while... say 20 years... but then nature does a pretty good job of washing away radio active dust... so while you might not want to farm in the area... it could be fine for city living in not all that long a time frame. |

Nuclear weapons are complicated and have to be precisely detonated for maximum potential yield. I have my doubts about their precision manufacturing and assembly capabilities.

Hmmm.
Tunnels under the DMZ, put it on the bed of of DPRK pickup and drive it right up to Seoul. They have the tunnels and some of the discovered ones are tourist stops from what I understand. It won't be an airburst but it will still be effective in their minds. |

Theoretically the nuclear material would be detected before it got into the harbor or over American air space. Also, a nuclear weapon is most effective when airburst detonated at about 10,000 feet. Quote HistoryQuoted:
