Simulated nuclear explosion planned

"The state plans to hold an exercise in mid-August simulating the explosion of a half-kiloton nuclear device at the entrance of Honolulu Harbor, a mock blast that theoretically would result in 10,000 casualties"

It's not like this has anything to do with NK, does it?

This is a simulation of 1/2 kiloton explosion. for reference, 15-kiloton bomb dropped on Hiroshima, 22-kiloton device exploded over Nagasaki.

Seems preping for a terrorists nuke?

Looks like that [terror nuke] is what they are thinking of, yes. Bin Ladin apparently had ties to the international shipping industry while he was working on the legitimate aspects of his family's construction business, and there have been increased attacks by islamist pirates on international shipping. Many are concerned that these organizations are going to start attacking the seaways, similar to how they've been attacking the railways.
