This Could Be The Real Reason North Korea Halted Nuclear Testing And It’s Terrifying
The mountain above North Korea’s main nuclear test site Punggye-ri has likely collapsed following a nuclear test last fall, sparking concerns about radioactive fallout and environmental catastrophes, according to geologists at the University of Science and Technology of China.
It comes less than a week after North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un announced the reclusive nation would immediately suspend nuclear and missile tests and scrap its testing site ahead of meetings with the United States and South Korea, now suggesting an alternative reason behind the site’s closure.
“The onsite collapse calls for continued close monitoring of radioactive materials from the nuclear test site,” the geologists wrote in a study that will appear in an upcoming issue of Geophysical Research Letters.
Nuclear explosions release enormous amounts of heat and energy. Following a nuclear bomb test on September 3 of last year, the researchers say the “explosion created a cavity and a damaged ‘chimney’ of rocks” out of nearby Mount Mantap that could be leaching radioactivity. Estimated at 100 kilotons, the blast was the sixth test 10 times stronger than any of the previous five. For comparison, the bomb that was detonated over Hiroshima in 1945 was 15 kilotons. About 8.5 minutes after the explosion, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake was recorded with four subsequent earthquakes generated in the following weeks.
By collecting high-quality seismic data and examining satellite imagery before and after the tests, scientists were able to determine where these earthquake swarms occurred and that they were indeed caused by the tests. Past tests have altered the area’s capacity to withstand tectonic stress to the extent that previously inactive tectonic faults have reached a state of “critical failure”. Further disturbances and future nuclear testing in the region could generate more destructive earthquakes.
“Given the history of the nuclear tests North Korea performed beneath this mountain, a nuclear test of a similar yield would produce collapses in an even larger scale creating an environmental catastrophe,” says the paper.
The findings confirm a study published last month that found similar results, suggesting the tectonic events were in fact man-made and not the result of naturally occurring tectonic activity. The paper described the aftershock as most likely a “rapid destruction of an explosion-generated cracked rock chimney due to cavity collapse.”
No radioactive materials have been collected along the North Korea-China border, but Chinese officials fear radioactive dust may be leaching through cracks and holes in the damaged mountain.

It is great news that this nuclear contest is coming to a close.Hope now that both countries rectify their differences and both help out each other.

“Exactly. How much radiation was released into the air and the earth during the US nuclear testing?”
A lot. The US and USSR detonated multi megaton hydrogen bombs above ground. The amount of material pushed into the atmosphere was so large that it many places the dust blocked the sun.
At the worst point of testing in the late 50s literally hundreds of nuclear detonations put much radioactivity into the air, that background radiation levels across the world increased by 5%. North Korea could never get close to that.
Sys1 on Sun, 29th Apr 2018 10:00 am
Megaton hydrogen bombs radioactivity is close to 0, as only the detonator, a nuclear bomb, is made of uranium/plutonium.
Not the thermonuclear part.

Withdrawal from neAsia is part of the plan, the US wants for get out of Europe and into the Balkans, it wants to get out of Korea and Japan and reposition into the South China sea. Right now China is building a massive island base in the south China sea the US is buried neck deep in Europe as far as the Russian border. Pnac plan not going well.

I agree Sys 1, there is bery little radioactivity
produced by a hydrogen bomb.
This is why there wasn’t any measurable effects from nuclear fallout, and nobody was ever harmed by fallout.
Antius on Sun, 29th Apr 2018 11:27 am
“How bout this compromise. When Israeli bullets kill six million non Jews, well call it even?”
Bolshevik Jews have a lot more than 6 million deaths on their hands. The Jewish holocaust happened after the Germans had witnessed the cruel carnage of the October revolution and the millions of deaths that followed, as the Bolsheviks starved out and murdered nationalists in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Their cruelty was inhuman. Having witnessed all this and having fought off similar attempts in Germany, the Germans decided that the world would be a better place without the Jewish menace. Whilst the Nazis were by no means benevolent soldiers of god, learning the full story of what they were fighting against, does paint them in a very different light.
“Megaton hydrogen bombs radioactivity is close to 0, as only the detonator, a nuclear bomb, is made of uranium/plutonium.
Not the thermonuclear part.”
Yes and no. An airburst does produce less fission products per kilotonne. But a thermonuclear reaction releases most of its energy in fast neutrons. A substantial part of the additional energy from a hydrogen bomb results from fast fission of the fissile charge by the neutron cascade. This is poorly utilised in a single phase fission bomb, because only 3% or so of the charge fissions before it disperses. In a hydrogen bomb, all of the fissile charge will fission. If detonated on the ground, fast neutrons will also generate irradiation products that won’t be generated by a fission bomb.

Why is this “terrifying” again? Thus far, the MSM, i.e. the UK Telegraph says scientists have discovered no radiation risk.
If a little radiation seeps out, then that might mean people should keep away from that area. As if NK would have citizens crawling all over the mountain of their main nuclear test site anyway.
Why all the fear mongering? This isn’t ideal, but it looks tiny compared to Chernobyl and Fukushima (remember all the hysteria created about those?)

For the fans of the USSR, here a realistic picture of what happened in that hell hole (Russian made movie from the early nineties):

Tens of millions were killed in this way. No wonder the Germans did what they did.
https://documents1940.wordpress.com/2017/09/27/amsterdam-deportations/
In Europe the communists nowhere had a chance… except for Germany, because of the Versailles situation.
Could happen in the US as well, after Trump, when sufficient third world proletariat has been imported to start a new sort of October Revolution, the whole purpose of the 1965 Immigration Act. This time the grievance won’t be “economic exploitation”, like in the USSR, but “white privilege” and “slavery”. Good luck with that.
Better remain buddies with the Europeans, as we are the only ones who potentially can spare you the fate the Russians had to endure. For that scenario to materialize Americans will have to organize a serious uprising, a la 1776.
This is what is at stake:

Perhaps a little too pessimistic. Leftist are not invincible you know. 90% of the entire giant Eurasian landmass between Hannover and Wladiwostok was once controlled by leftists. And then, on a sunny day in 1989, the whole leftist shit-hole evaporated over night, just like that. It fell over as nobody believed the communist lies anymore. Won’t be different with the western, racial version of globalism=communism. These imported Jihadist are the most right-wing characters on the planet, so much so it would make Hitler blush. And the stupid leftists want to buddy up with them.lol Timber!

Jeezus wants evolution reversed. That’s why American TV-hypnotizees support IsItReal and the D.C. bribe-ocracy they fantasize as being “their” government. Until Yid-Cretianity is gone with the wind, there is little chance that “American interests” will be anything other than a cover for massive corruption, worldwide mass murder and the gutting of Western civilization.
Yet there is some small hope. Unimpeachable numbers are hard to come by, but the April/May issue of Free Inquiry magazine (p. 18), in an article “How Do We Sustain the Growth of Unbelief” by editor Tom Flynn, the author states
“In a recent major survey, a record 22.8 percent of American adults report that they are Nones — that is, they claim no religious affiliation. That figure rises to 35 percent among Millennials (born 1981 to 1996). The number self-defining as ‘atheist’ or ‘agnostic’ (much less ‘secular humanist’) is considerably smaller, but it too is growing.”
The issue that we should be concerned with in the West is not religion in general, but specifically Christianity, because its guilt mechanism has been taken over by philo-Semites, and the Left generally, to eviscerate the White sense of self-preservation and push the European race toward genosuicide.
All serious scholars of religion know that the basis of Christianity — the Genesis tale of mankind’s ancestors committing an “original sin” which had to be expiated for by a dying-and-rising god lest man burn eternally in hell — is simply an absurd falsehood. (And by the way, those scholars include the top hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church, including Pope Francis himself!) But the masses of Cretian believers believe ardently in their fantasy, no matter what its consequences may be. The religious academics and hierarchy, however, dare not reveal the truth, lest they lose their jobs or, much worse, the entire house of religious cards suddenly comes crashing down.
That would entail a revolution in government, which the Swamplings will do everything in their power to forestall. However, eventually it will happen, as the voodoo cults from Mexico and other points south surge northward to fill the vacuum. When that does begin to happen, it is at least possible that Whitey may wake up. The Jew, of course, will invent some new reason to drag Whites into another one of their wars, but even that is not a sure thing.
After all, when nihilism becomes the norm, it can lead to a transvaluation of all values (Umwertung aller Werte), as Nietzsche foretold so long ago.
