North Korea's Nuke Test May Have Been Twice as Strong as Thought - Bloomberg

'North Korea’s latest nuclear test may have been more than twice as powerful as first thought -- or 17 times stronger than the Hiroshima bomb -- according to an analysis by 38 North. '

'The 38 North analysis said a 250-kiloton yield was close to what it had previously determined was the maximum that could be contained by North Korea’s underground Punggye-ri test site. '

'There also appears to be increased water drainage around the site’s north portal area, possibility as a result of the test, 38 North said. '

' Such underground water flow could carry contamination to the surface and wasn’t inconsistent with a South Korean report finding radioactive material in the environment, the authors said. '

'The test -- North Korea’s sixth -- was part of a weapons program under leader Kim Jong Un, who has vowed to develop missile technology that can deliver a nuclear warhead as far as the U.S. mainland. '
