Natural Science Forum / Physics / Fusion / October 2006Korean Atom Bomb
It does sound like the Koreans are using the new technology electrically ignited "hydrogen" bomb. These can be made from a yield of a few pounds of TNT to megatons of TNT for less than $10 and are only a few grams. A 1 KT bomb would be made from about 0.25 g of the nuclear fuel. A normal watch type lithium battery is sufficient to ignite it. All armies are re-equipping; wars will never be the same again.

I thought it was all based on thought wave technology. AKA wishful thinking... > These can be made from a yield of a few pounds of TNT to megatons of TNT for > less than $10 and are only a few grams.

Which is truly astounding if this *was* a U-235 based bomb as was reported. They need to increase the food rations of their "calculators". Dave There was no fissile material present.

I cannot refute that statement because I do not know the results of the radioisotope samples taken by the US after the test. But it can be determined via scientific means. Clearly it was sufficient for Negroponte to declare it was an atomic test. To my knowledge no one, other than yourself, has asserted it was "hydrogen" related. Still awaiting your references... Dave Look at the UK patent site there is a patent for an electrically ignited hydrogen bomb. there is only a tiny amount of hydrogen in the detonator the main charge is another material only known to you.
