From the Washington Times:
U.S. intelligence agencies say, based on preliminary indications, that North Korea did not produce its first nuclear blast yesterday.This would be a humiliating culmination for Kim Jong-il, which would make him even more intransigent and dangerous.U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that seismic readings show that the conventional high explosives used to create a chain reaction in a plutonium-based device went off, but that the blast's readings were shy of a typical nuclear detonation.

His missiles failed.
His nation is a complete failure.
Kim Jong Il is nothing but a little man in a funny jacket.

If true, this has further implications. Alan Peters of antimullah.com speculates that the test may have actually been undertaken by NorK on behalf of the Islamic Repulic of Iran. So this is a serious humiliation for the mullahs who supposedly had their experts on hand in NorK on Saturday. That's two humiliations with one dud, so to speak. heh heh heh heh heh

Light water reactors are simpler and cheaper than heavy water reactors, and although they have the same power-generating capabilities, it is far more difficult to use them to produce weapons-grade plutonium, as the reactor must be shut down and the fuel rods replaced every four months because if they stay in any longer, the plutonium-240 concentration will become too high and poison the plutonium-239.
