5.3 in North Korea Probably another nuclear test.

Probably isolating North Korea isn't a good idea, they get all the stuff they want from China anyway.Having large military manoevers on their border just makes them jumpy.Most of what we here about them is Bull#. Lil Kims uncle wasn't eaten by dogs, it was a Chinese blogger that started the rumour.He got wasted because he was trying to change the state into a Chinese style economy, which makes him a piraha as far as their ideology is concerned.
Theirs a lot of new building going on in the country, you get a house and a job, free health care and education,which seems to be a bloody sight more than we in the west get these days?

Any sudden shock will produce seismic waves. The deeper the epicenter below the surface the more energy is contained and transmitted through the bedrock. A fault slipping has a different signature than a single detonation of a very large amount of explosives or a small nuclear device. Without a radiation signature however, its inconclusive which type of explosive caused the tremor.

US employs "Constant Phoenix" to monitor the atmosphere for isotopes, identifying new events as well as from past releases which is near impossible to contain. Even buried deeply, the heat from gasses finds its way up and out into the atmosphere eventually. Long lived, spectrum specific isotopes from past nuclear tests and accidents are still discovered upon occasion floating in the atmosphere. These are specific isotopes readily recognized as being from Hiroshima or Fukushima, for instance. Constant Phoenix program isn't in the news, they don't want to admit how much they know about radioactivity these days because of spills and ahem (Fukushima).

Without that kind of confirmation, the claims are up in the air. Just like back in January (see the previous link I provided). But the gubment doesn't make public what Constant Phoenix program finds. They tell us they "sniffing" but don't show us actual results in the form of spectrum data.
