not for the lack of trying, but NK's test seems to be a bit of a dud...apparently the event readings from the area in question are unusually low for a nuke test.
Quote:
One intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said U.S. intelligence agencies detected an explosive event in North Korea with a force of less than a kiloton. Historically, the types of devices used in initial nuclear tests have yielded several kilotons of force.
"We cannot confirm if it was a nuclear explosion," the official said Monday morning.
Another U.S. government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of political sensitivity of the situation, said the seismic event could have been a nuclear explosion, but its small size was making it difficult for authorities to verify that.
