북 핵실험, 국제사회 일제히 비난

 

The nuclear test, North Korea announced, is an historical event that has brought our military and our people huge joy. But it brought only fear and condemnation 비난 from the rest of the world. “Such a claim itself constitutes <위협 따위를> 가하다 a threat to international peace and security. The United States condemns this provocative 도발적인, 자극적인 act.”

 

From the North Korean ambassador 대사 to the UN, no apologies! “I’m very much proud of our scientists and the researchers who have conducted such a very, very successful nuclear underground test.” Tonight, officials are still trying to figure out what exactly North Korea did. The US and its allies 동맹국 have planes in the area searching for signs of radiation 방사능. They know something happened. Seismographs 지진계, 진동계 measured a blast registering 기록하다 4.2 on the Richter scale 리히터 스케일, 규모 <지진의 진도 척도>. The size of a small earthquake.

 

If it was a nuclear explosion, it may have been something of a dud 실패작. U.S. and South Korean officials say it produced about 1 kiloton of explosive power. By comparison, the nuclear tests conducted by India and Pakistan in 1998 were between 4 and 12 kilotons.

 

The real concern is what North Korea may do next. Could they arm <무기 등에 ~을> 장비하다 a missile with a nuclear bomb? Just 3 months ago, North Korea tested several missiles including one with the projected 추정된, 예상된 range long enough to reach the United States. “This is definitely 명확히 a threat, but it’s not an imminent 곧 닥쳐올 것 같은 threat. They don’t have a deliverable <미사일 등이> 도달 가능한 weapon.”

 

The intelligence community is divided about if and when North Korea could create a nuclear armed missile. The more immediate fear, will North Korea sell its nuclear material on the black market 암시장. “We should now think seriously about the possibility that North Korea sells a nuclear bomb to Al Qaeda or Osama Bin Laden that they bring that nuclear bomb to an American city and then we see a nuclear 9/11.”
