2016 North Korean nuclear test
North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear detonation on 6 January 2016 at 10:00:01 UTC+08:30. At the Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site, approximately 50 kilometres (30 miles) northwest of Kilju City in Kilju County, an underground nuclear test was carried out. The United States Geological Service reported a 5.1 magnitude earthquake from the location; the China Earthquake Networks Center reported the magnitude as 4.9.
North Korean media made announcements that the regime had successfully tested a hydrogen bomb. However third-party experts—as well as officials and agencies in South Korea—doubted North Korea's claims and contend that the device was more likely to have been a fission bomb such as a boosted fission weapon. Such weapons use hydrogen fusion to produce smaller, lighter warheads suitable for arming a delivery device such as a missile, rather than to attain the destructive power of a true hydrogen bomb.
Background
North Korea (officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or DPRK) had previously conducted three underground nuclear tests in 2006, 2009, and 2013, drawing sanctions from the United Nations Security Council.

2006 North Korean nuclear test
The 2006 North Korean nuclear test was the detonation of a nuclear device conducted by North Korea on October 9, 2006.
On October 3, 2006, North Korea announced its intention to conduct a nuclear test, and in doing so became the first nation to give warning of its first nuclear test. The blast is estimated to have had an explosive force of less than one kiloton, and some radioactive output was detected. United States officials suggested the device may have been a nuclear explosive that misfired.
An anonymous official at the North Korean Embassy in Beijing told a South Korean newspaper that the explosive output was smaller than expected. Because of the secretive nature of North Korea and small yield of the test, there remains some question as to whether it was a successful test of an unusually small device (which would have required sophisticated technology), or a partially failed "fizzle" or dud. A scientific paper later estimated the yield as 0.48 kilotons.
It was reported that the government of the People's Republic of China was given a 20-minute advance warning that the test was about to occur. China sent an emergency alert to Washington, D.C., through the U.S. embassy in Beijing at which time President George W. Bush was told by National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley "shortly after" 10 p.m. (UTC-5) that a test was imminent.

2009 North Korean nuclear test
The 2009 North Korean nuclear test was the underground detonation of a nuclear device conducted on Monday, May 25, 2009 by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. This was its second nuclear test, the first test, a fizzle, having taken place in October 2006. Following the nuclear test, Pyongyang also conducted several missile tests. A scientific paper later estimated the yield as 2.35 kilotons.
The test was nearly universally condemned by the international community. Following the test, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1874 condemning the test and tightening sanctions on the country.
It was widely believed that the test was conducted as a result of a succession crisis in the country. After Kim Jong-Il suffered a stroke in the summer of 2008, arrangements were made for his third son, Kim Jong-un, to take power upon his death. It is believed the North Koreans conducted the nuclear test to show that, even in a time of possible weakness, it did not intend to give up its nuclear weapons program.

Nuclear weapons testing
Nuclear weapons tests are experiments carried out to determine the effectiveness, yield, and explosive capability of nuclear weapons. Throughout the 20th century, most nations that developed nuclear weapons tested them. Testing nuclear weapons can yield information about how the weapons work, as well as how the weapons behave under various conditions and how personnel, structures, and equipment behave when subjected to nuclear explosions. Nuclear testing has often been used as an indicator of scientific and military strength, and many tests have been overtly political in their intention; most nuclear weapons states publicly declared their nuclear status by means of a nuclear test.
The first nuclear device was detonated as a test by the United States at the Trinity site on July 16, 1945, with a yield approximately equivalent to 20 kilotons of TNT. The first thermonuclear weapon technology test of engineer device, codenamed "Mike", was tested at the Enewetak atoll in the Marshall Islands on November 1, 1952 (local date), also by the United States. The largest nuclear weapon ever tested was the "Tsar Bomba" of the Soviet Union at Novaya Zemlya on October 30, 1961, with the largest yield ever seen (as of January 2016), an estimated 50–58 megatons.

International reactions to the 2013 North Korean nuclear test
International reactions to the 2013 North Korean nuclear test were nearly unanimous in their condemnation and denunciation of the test.
Countries
Australia – The Prime Minister of Australia Julia Gillard said "The Australian Government condemns in the strongest possible terms nuclear testing by North Korea" in a statement. The Australian Government also postponed a visit by North Korean diplomats to Australia which was related to establishing a North Korean embassy in Canberra.
Canada – Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird issued a statement expressing that "The North Korean regime’s reckless disregard for the global will is again on display. This test—North Korea’s third—is provocative and marks a serious, misguided threat to regional peace and security."
China – The Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China Yang Jiechi said that China "resolutely" opposes the latest nuclear test conducted by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The North Korean ambassador to China, Ji Jae Ryong, was personally informed of this position on 12 February 2013 in a meeting with Yang Jiechi.

North Korea's underground nuclear test
According to intelligence reports, North Korea is preparing its third test of a nuclear device. The test would take place underground. In such tests, a nuclear device is placed into a drilled tunnel about 800 meters below the surface. The hole is then plugged with gravel and other materials to contain the explosion and fallout. The nuclear explosion vaporizes subterranean rock and sends seismic shockwaves through the ground. An underground chamber is created, which collapses and causes a crater on the surface. Source: BBC

North Korea has vowed to carry out a third nuclear test, but scientists and concerned foreign governments may have a tough time verifying the actions of the reclusive state. After foreign detection of its 2006 test, Pyongyang carried out its 2009 explosion deep underground, which gave scientists far less information. Most observers expect North Korea to be even more careful this time.VIDEOGRAPIC

The U.S. Geological Service's detection of a four-point-three magnitude tremor at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site signaled North Korea's arrival as the world's eighth nuclear power.
On May 25th, 2009 less than a month after North Korea walked away from the six-party nuclear talks aimed at its denuclearization, Pyongyang conducted a second underground test claiming that it had detonated a plutonium device.
A four-point-seven magnitude earthquake was detected at Punggye-ri with an estimated yield of three to four kilotons, a significant jump from an estimated explosive force of less than one kiloton in 2006.
The regime's third nuclear test was conducted on February 12th, 2013, with the North claiming to have tested a "miniaturized and lighter nuclear device with greater explosive force".
The speculation was that North Korea used uranium, marking a major leap forward from the plutonium bombs used in its previous two tests.
It was also the first test under the new and young leader Kim Jong-un and came when talks with Seoul and Washington stalled.
The first three tests were atomic bombs, but in January 2016, North Korea claimed to have successfully tested a much more powerful hydrogen bomb.
However, with a five-point-one magnitude artificial earthquake and an estimated yield of some six kilotons, a figure not much higher than its third test, experts have cast doubt on the claim.
Falling way short of the tell-tale signs of a full thermonuclear bomb test, observers have suggested the fourth test was a conventional nuclear bomb enhanced with fusion fuels.
However, what's undeniable is that North Korea's nuclear weapons program has sprung forward leaps and bounds over the years.
With the 5.0 magnitude earthquake detected on Friday near Pyunggye-ri,... where all four of the previous tests were conducted,... it appears North Korea may have carried out its fifth nuclear test.

According to intelligence reports, North Korea is preparing its third test of a nuclear device. The test would take place underground. In such tests, a nuclear device is placed into a drilled tunnel about 800 meters below the surface. The hole is then plugged with gravel and other materials to contain the explosion and fallout. The nuclear explosion vaporizes subterranean rock and sends seismic shockwaves through the ground. An underground chamber is created, which collapses and causes a crater on the surface.

북한 핵 실험 일지
Before today,... North Korea had conducted four nuclear tests in the space of around a decade.
For a summary of the timeline of the previous tests,... Oh Soo-young reports. Nuclear tests have been North Korea's go-to last resort when backed into a corner.
Pyongyang's first test came on October 9th, 2006 in protest of the U.S. freezing North Korean assets held in a Macau-based bank.
The U.S. Geological Service's detection of a four-point-three magnitude tremor at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site signaled North Korea's arrival as the world's eighth nuclear power.
On May 25th, 2009 less than a month after North Korea walked away from the six-party nuclear talks aimed at its denuclearization, Pyongyang conducted a second underground test claiming that it had detonated a plutonium device.
A four-point-seven magnitude earthquake was detected at Punggye-ri with an estimated yield of three to four kilotons, a significant jump from an estimated explosive force of less than one kiloton in 2006.
The regime's third nuclear test was conducted on February 12th, 2013, with the North claiming to have tested a "miniaturized and lighter nuclear device with greater explosive force".
The speculation was that North Korea used uranium, marking a major leap forward from the plutonium bombs used in its previous two tests.
It was also the first test under the new and young leader Kim Jong-un and came when talks with Seoul and Washington stalled.
The first three tests were atomic bombs, but in January 2016, North Korea claimed to have successfully tested a much more powerful hydrogen bomb.
However, with a five-point-one magnitude artificial earthquake and an estimated yield of some six kilotons, a figure not much higher than its third test, experts have cast doubt on the claim.
Falling way short of the tell-tale signs of a full thermonuclear bomb test, observers have suggested the fourth test was a conventional nuclear bomb enhanced with fusion fuels.
However, what's undeniable is that North Korea's nuclear weapons program has sprung forward leaps and bounds over the years.
With the 5.0 magnitude earthquake detected on Friday near Pyunggye-ri,... where all four of the previous tests were conducted,... it appears North Korea may have carried out its fifth nuclear test.

North Korea has vowed to carry out a third nuclear test, but scientists and concerned foreign governments may have a tough time verifying the actions of the reclusive state. After foreign detection of its 2006 test, Pyongyang carried out its 2009 explosion deep underground, which gave scientists far less information. Most observers expect North Korea to be even more careful this time.VIDEOGRAPIC
2016 North Korean nuclear test
North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear detonation on 6 January 2016 at 10:00:01 UTC+08:30. At the Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site, approximately 50 kilometres (30 miles) northwest of Kilju City in Kilju County, an underground nuclear test was carried out. The United States Geological Service reported a 5.1 magnitude earthquake from the location; the China Earthquake Networks Center reported the magnitude as 4.9.
North Korean media made announcements that the regime had successfully tested a hydrogen bomb. However third-party experts—as well as officials and agencies in South Korea—doubted North Korea's claims and contend that the device was more likely to have been a fission bomb such as a boosted fission weapon. Such weapons use hydrogen fusion to produce smaller, lighter warheads suitable for arming a delivery device such as a missile, rather than to attain the destructive power of a true hydrogen bomb.
Background
North Korea (officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or DPRK) had previously conducted three underground nuclear tests in 2006, 2009, and 2013, drawing sanctions from the United Nations Security Council.

The Test
by: Lari WhiteDown the middle of the page I drew a line
At the top I wrote my name, the date, the time
And sitting like a schoolgirl at my desk
I decided it was time to take the test
On the left I wrote the reasons I should leave
The differences that we had not forseen
By the time I got it all off my chest
It looked like we were sure to fail the test.
I wrote down, every fault, I wrote down every fight
Every hurtful word we ever said in spite
Then on the right I wrote the reasons why
I should stay with you until I die
I only wrote one word, no more, no less
I knew I was finished with the test
The word I wrote was love, and I confess
