Monitor Releases Simulation Of What Nuclear Explosion Near North Korea Would Look Like

Jon Alternative Media, Blogosphere, Energy, Science

A scientist tasked with monitoring the proliferation of nuclear weapons has published what he described as a ‘rough simulation’ of what would happen if North Korea follows through with threats to test a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific Ocean.
The upshot of the simulation – which was published by Lassina Zerbo, the head of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization – is that such an ‘atmospheric burst’ could spread a ‘radio-isotope cloud’ of radiation across the planet, potentially leading to the catastrophic loss of life.
