Could North-Korea’s Bomb Be A Super-EMP Weapon?

Although North Korea was rather braggingly telling the world that it had managed to explode a test hydrogen bomb, several nuclear exprts remain sceptic.

The White House itself said that results from the explosion weren’t consistent with a hydrogen bomb which has the potential to be even more powerful than an atomic bomb.

Among the experts downlplaying North Korea’s boastful achievement, one specialist claims that results actually indicate that this explosions was “another kind of H-Bomb” and is in fact a neutron bomb or an enhanced radiation weapon such as a super-EMP (electromagnetic pulse) weapon.

Peter Pry, an expert on EMP weapons, says that North Korea’s claims align with the scenario of a device which produces enhanced amount of devastating gamma rays despite its low yield.
