Focus on who's helping North Korea, please. They advance extremely fast, despite sanctions and being cut off...only Iran and China come to mind. China sold them the mobile rocket launchers. What else? How can they progress so quickly?

The North Korean design does look consistent with a Teller–Ulam configuration

The Wiki site has a schematic, which being a schematic is simplistic.

The neck of the NORK bomb has some interest. In the schematic only polystyrene foam would be there. 'Neck' or no neck does not seem important. I just do not see the foam as doing much as being filler.

the neck would give the casing/wrapper structural strength.


The casing could have the 'reflector' on the inner layer. This is damn important.


The U.S. used the Eniac to due the computations. What do the NORKS have? A PC or server or something that puts the ENIAC to shame. So they do not have to have a year of time on an ENIAC. They could do it much faster.

I would suggest that once a person studies the physics of fusion and fission the take a class in stochastic process at any Math department. Then you would know what you could or could not do.

Thanks Clinton!
Thanks Obama
thanks China
Thanks Pakistan/Abdul Qadeer Khan
Thanks Iran

Thanks you Bush & Russia.


If you outcrazy a crazy person you can get them to back down than if you act conciliatory. Psychologist can't tell you this. Their field is in a mess.
