是不是氫彈要根據你怎麼定義氫彈。 氫彈有強度大的,根據爆炸后測量判斷,這次報道的是not high yield, 說明並不否定,可能是規模小的氫彈。super-EMP 只能判斷到與核試驗有關的強電磁波,並不能因此否定氫彈,或是一種混合 mechanism。
"But the reality of it isn't nearly so clear cut. There are pure fission devices, fission-fusion devices, boosted fission, fission-fusion-fission devices, salted warheads — all kinds of stuff, and that's long before you get into the genuinely esoteric designs.
The important point here is that small H-bombs are probably easier to make than most people realize. So the question is less about whether or not the North Koreans are tossing hydrogen isotopes into the mix when making their nukes, but the particular way they're folding that fuel into the mix and whether they're making big H-bombs or small H-bombs."
