2010 Korea bomb 'tests' probably false alarms, says study
> http://phys.org/news/2012-10-korea-false-alarms.html


> Many experts quickly expressed skepticism, as there was no public
> evidence of seismic waves normally linked to such explosions;
> however, since then, tensions have continued to rise. In August,
> defense analysts warned that North Korea had made significant
> progress on a plant to produce highly enriched uranium, suitable for
> bombs. And lately, there have been increasing calls for pre-emptive
> attacks by the United States or Israel to keep Iran from developing a
> bomb.

> "The recent claim of nuclear testing in 2010 has led to publicity
> that could be very dangerous at a time when so much belligerence is
> in the air," said Paul G. Richards, a coauthor of the new paper.
> "There could be consequences to a false alarm—you could start a war."
> Richards and his coauthors, seismologists David P. Schaff and
> Won-Young Kim, say in their paper, "It is important to find
> confirming evidence for such a serious claim and thus build up
> support for it, or to find objective and contrary evidence and thus
> help make the case that the claim is invalid."
