North Korea defies predictions — again — with early grasp of weapons milestone 2017-09-03T04:00:00Z They are known as thermonuclear fuels because their ignition requires the blistering heat of an exploding atomic bomb, which acts like a match. A Giant Nuclear Blast, but a Hydrogen Bomb? Too Soon to Say 2017-09-03T04:00:00Z Whatever its eventual yield, Sunday’s test was “a staged thermonuclear weapon” that represents a significant advance in Pyongyang’s weapons programme, said Jeffrey Lewis of the California-based Middlebury Institute of International Studies. North Korean nuclear test confirmed in major escalation by Kim Jong-un 2017-09-03T04:00:00Z David Albright, president of the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security, said he doubted the device was real, but he said there was strong evidence that the North had been working on thermonuclear weapons. North Korea Says It Tested a Hydrogen Bomb Meant for Missiles 2017-09-02T04:00:00Z North Korea's sixth nuclear test is not definitively a thermonuclear weapon from the seismic signature alone, but it appears to be a likely possibility at this point.
