The North Korean leader has said the country now has a hydrogen bomb, according to the N. Korean central news agency, and is capable of using it along with nuclear warheads to defend its sovereignty.
We managed to become a great nuclear power capable of defending the independence and national dignity of our homeland by mighty nuclear and hydrogen strikes, N. Korean leader Kim Jong-un was cited by the Korean central news agency as saying. He also said North Korea "has to continue with actively developing its military industry."
The statement came as Kim Jong Un was on a tour inspecting an upgraded arms plant in Pyongyang on Thursday, according to TASS quoting the N. Korean central news agency.
So far it has not been confirmed that the country has in fact designed and created a hydrogen bomb.
However, the South Korean intelligence community and experts say North Korea is unlikely to have enough scientific know-how to design an H-bomb.
"We don't have any information that North Korea has developed an H-bomb," an intelligence official from South Koreas National Intelligence Service (NIS) told Yonhap news agency. "We do not believe that North Korea, which has not succeeded in miniaturizing nuclear bombs, has the technology to produce an H-bomb."
"It's hard to regard North Korea as possessing an H-bomb. I think it seems to be developing it," research fellow at Seoul-based Science and Technology Policy Institute Lee Chun-geun was quoted as saying by Yonhap.
On February 10, 2005 N. Korea declared it had created nuclear weapons. The announcement was widely condemned by the international community. The country has since conducted underground nuclear tests three times, in 2006, 2009 and 2013.
The three nuclear tests are said to be critical for N. Korea's strategic arms program. The first known underground nuclear test was conducted in 2006 at the Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site in the northeast of the country. It was recorded by seismic stations in Russia, China, Japan, South Korea and Australia. According to rough estimates, a nuclear device of 5 to 10 kilotons of TNT was exploded.
The second and third tests were conducted in May 2009 and January 2013 respectively, causing international condemnation and unilateral sanctions by the US for violating the non-proliferation regime. The estimated power of the devices tested was 10 to 20 kilotons of TNT each.
In 2013, the UN Security Council unanimously imposed new sanctions against North Korea for its latest nuclear test, which came hours after Pyongyang threatened a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the US and South Korea in March 2013. The sanctions involve penalties on the country's banking, travel and trade.
A hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon of mass destruction that uses energy from a primary nuclear blast to ignite a secondary nuclear fusion, and is by far the most powerful weapon on earth. The first country to build an H-bomb was the Soviet Union, whose AN602 hydrogen bomb (often referred to as the “Tzar Bomb”) was tested in 1961.
據朝鮮中心通信社報導，朝鮮國度引導人金正恩宣告該國已有氫彈，並預備好應用它和原槍彈來保護國度主權。
朝中社援用金正恩的話：“我國已可以或許成為一個預備好應用壯大的原槍彈和氫彈來果斷保護主權和國度莊嚴的核強國。”他還說朝鮮"將持續踴躍成長軍事產業"。
這個陳說是金正恩周四在平壤觀光一處進級的兵器基地時所講，據俄羅斯塔斯通信社援用朝中社的報導。
今朝為止還不克不及確認朝鮮確切計劃和制作了氫彈。
但是，韓國的諜報系統和一些專家以為朝鮮弗成能控制充足的計劃氫彈的專業常識。
韓國國度諜報院(NIS)的一位諜報官告知韓國結合通信社，“咱們沒有收到任何朝鮮已制作出氫彈的新聞。”“咱們不信任朝鮮已勝利研制出小型核彈，不信任他具有制作氫彈的科技。”
韓國結合通信社援用科學技巧協會首爾總部的研討職員李淳槿所述，“朝鮮研制出了氫彈是難以置信的，我以為他們應當還在研討中。”
2005年2月10日，朝鮮傳播鼓吹已制作出核兵器，這個新聞引發了國際社會的普遍抗議。自當時起的2006年、2009年和2013年，平壤舉行了三次地下核實驗，
這三次核實驗對朝鮮的計謀兵器籌劃是相當主要的。第一個已知的地下核實驗是2006在該國東北部豐溪裏核實驗基地舉行。俄羅斯，中國，日本，韓國和澳大利亞地動台站都監測記載了本次實驗。據大略估量，此核彈爆炸的威力約為 5到10千噸TNT當量。
第二次和第三次實驗分離是在2009年5月和2013年1月舉行，引發了國際社會的同等訓斥，還因違背不分散軌制遭到了美國片面的制裁。估量每次的核彈威力都在10到20千噸TNT當量。
2013年年3月，在平壤威逼將對美國和韓國舉行先發制人的核襲擊數小時後，結合國安理睬同等贊成對朝鮮最新一次的核實驗采用制裁。制裁辦法包含對該國的銀行業、旅行業和商業的處分。
氫彈是一種大範圍殺傷性的核兵器，應用一次核爆炸的能量來點燃二次核聚變，是迄今為止地球上最壯大的兵器。第一個制作氫彈的國度是蘇聯，其AN602氫彈(平日稱為“沙皇炸彈”)於1961年引爆。
