The article does not state whether the device was a uranium or plutonium bomb. North Korea clams to have both programs. If the test was confirmed by detection of radiation, then it should be known which. -- Petri Krohn 23:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
As has been reported by many monitoring countries since, and the subsequent 2009 small-yield North Korean test of a few kilotons, N. Korea does indeed have a nuclear weapons capability.
the us might be lying about the test failing and it could just be propaganda.
Is this a video of the nuclear test that North Korea did?

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

98.228.12.24 ( talk)I'm not familiar with Wikipedia but doesn't the first sentence of the page, saying they gave a six day warning, contradict the later information, saying they gave a 20-minute warning? there's some real need for clarity here. thank you 98.228.12.24 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:50, 23 January 2011 (UTC).
Due to recent edits, the article now reads as though a single estimate in a published scientific article is the definitive yield value of 0.48 kilotons. This is far too precise a figure to be definitive, as there are numerous sources of uncertainty, including the measurement uncertainty in the seismic magnitude, uncertainty about the depth of the explosion, and local geological factors. Other sources cited in the article give different estimates. I'm not an expert on yield estimates, but some correction is needed. NPguy ( talk) 16:03, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
I think it is better to put the yield at the middle estimate of 1,000 tons. This is because 500 tons as shown currently is the lowest accepted range, and the 2,000 tons is on the upper range of the likely yield. I have found one report that states various estimates from different source, including USA (Where the government estimated at 1,000 tons), South Korea (500 tons, where the estimate is highly likely to be deflated in an attempt to contain the fears over the South Koreans / propaganda against North Korea which is their arch rivals), China (1,000 tons by experts / planned 4,000 tons by the relevant diplomat channels).
