October 9, 2006 N. Korea Reports 1st Nuclear Arms Test By DAVID E. SANGER WASHINGTON, Monday, Oct. 9 — North Korea said Sunday night that it had set off its first nuclear test, becoming the eighth country in history, and arguably the most unstable and most dangerous, to proclaim that it has joined the club of nuclear weapons states. The test came just two days after the country was warned by the United Nations Security Council that the action could lead to severe consequences. American officials cautioned that they had not yet received any confirmation that the test had occurred. The United States Geological Survey said it had detected a tremor of 4.2 magnitude on the Korean Peninsula. China called the test a “flagrant and brazen” violation of international opinion, and that it “firmly opposes” North Korea’s conduct. Senior Bush administration officials said they had little reason to doubt the country’s announcement, and warned that it would usher in a new era of confrontation with the isolated and unpredictable country run by President Kim Jong-il. Early Monday morning, even before the test was confirmed, Bush administration officials were holding conference calls to discuss ways to further cut off a country that is already subject to huge sanctions, and hardliners in the administration said the moment had arrived for neighboring countries, especially China and Russia, to cut off the trade and oil supplies that have been Mr. Kim’s lifeline. In South Korea, the country that fought a bloody war with the North for three years and has lived with an uneasy truce and failed efforts at reconciliation for more than half a century, officials announced they believed an explosion occurred around 10:36 p.m. New York time — 11:36 a.m. Monday in Korea. They identified the source of the explosion as North Hamgyong Province, the rough area where American spy satellites have been focused for several years on a variety of suspected underground test sites. That was less than an hour after North Korean officials had called their counterparts in China and warned them that a test was just minutes away. The Chinese, who have been North Korea’s main ally for 60 years but have grown increasingly frustrated by the country’s defiance of Beijing, sent an emergency alert to Washington through the United States Embassy in Beijing. Within minutes, President Bush notified, shortly after 10 p.m., by his national security adviser, Stephen Hadley, that a test was imminent. North Korea’s decision to conduct the test demonstrated what the world has suspected for years: the country has joined India, Pakistan and Israel as one of the world’s “undeclared” nuclear powers. (India and Pakistan conducted tests in 1998; Israel has never acknowledged conducting a test or possessing a weapon.) But by actually setting off a weapon, if that is proven, it has chosen to end years of carefully crafted and diplomatically useful ambiguity about its capabilities. The North’s decision to set off a nuclear device could profoundly change the politics of Asia. The test occurred only a week after Japan installed a new, more nationalistic prime minister, Shinzo Abe, and just as the country was renewing a debate about whether its ban on possessing nuclear weapons — deeply felt in a country that saw two of its cities incinerated in 1945 — still makes strategic sense. And it shook the peninsula just as Mr. Abe was arriving in South Korea for the first time as prime minister, in an effort to repair a badly strained relationship, having just visited with Chinese leaders in Beijing. It places his untested administration in the midst of one of the region’s biggest security crises in years, and one whose outcome will be watched closely in Tehran and other states suspected of attempting to follow the path that North Korea has taken. Now, Tokyo and Washington are expected to put even more pressure on the South Korean government to terminate its “sunshine policy” of trade, tourism and openings to the North — a policy that has been the source of enormous tension between Seoul and Washington since Mr. Bush took office. The explosion was the product of nearly four decades of work by North Korea, one of the world’s poorest and most isolated countries, a country of 23 million people that appears constantly fearful that its far richer, more powerful neighbors — and particularly the United States — will try to unseat its leadership. The country’s founder, Kim Il-sung, who died in 1994, emerged from the Korean war determined to equal the power of the United States, and acutely aware that Gen. Douglas MacArthur had requested nuclear weapons to use against his country. But it took decades to put together the technology, and only in the past few years has the North appeared to have made a political decision to speed forward. “I think they just had their military plan to demonstrate that no one could mess with them, and they weren’t going to be deterred, not even by the Chinese,” a senior American official who deals with the country said late Sunday evening. “In the end, there was just no stopping them.” But the explosion was also the product of more than two decades of diplomatic failure, spread over at least three presidencies. American spy satellites saw the North building a good-size nuclear reactor in the early 1980’s, and by the early 1990’s the C.I.A. estimated that the country could have one or two nuclear weapons. But a series of diplomatic efforts to “freeze” the nuclear program — including a 1994 accord signed with the Clinton administration — ultimately broke down, amid distrust and recriminations on both sides. Three years ago, just as President Bush was sending American troops toward Iraq, the North threw out the few remaining weapons inspectors living at their nuclear complex in Yongbyon, and moved 8,000 nuclear fuel rods they had kept under lock and key. Those rods contained enough plutonium, experts said, to produce five or six nuclear weapons, though it is unclear how many — apart from the one presumably tested — the North now stockpiles. For years, some diplomats assumed that the North was using that ambiguity to trade away its nuclear capability, for recognition, security guarantees, aid and trade with the West. But in the end, the country’s reclusive leader, Kim Jong-il, who inherited the mantle of leadership from his father, still called the “Great Leader,” appears to have concluded that its surest way of getting what he seeks is to demonstrate that he has the capability to strike back if attacked. Assessing the nature of that capability is difficult. If the test occurred as the North claimed, it is unclear whether it was an actual bomb or a more primitive device. Some experts cautioned that it could try to fake an explosion, setting off conventional explosives; the only way to know for sure will be if American “sniffer” planes, patrolling the North Korean coast, pick up evidence of nuclear byproducts in the air. Even then, it is not clear that the North could fabricate that bomb into a weapon that could fit atop its missiles, one of the starving country’s few significant exports. But the big fear about North Korea, American officials have long said, has less to do with its ability to lash out than it does with its proclivity to proliferate. The country has sold its missiles and other weapons to Iran, Syria and Pakistan; at various moments in the “six-party talks”” that have gone on for the past few years, North Korean representatives have threatened to sell nuclear weapons. But a statement issued last week, announcing that it intends to set off a test, said it the country would not sell its nuclear products. The fear of proliferation prompted President Bush to declare in 2003 that the United States would never “tolerate” a nuclear-armed North Korea. He has never defined what he means by “tolerate,” and on Sunday night Tony Snow, Mr. Bush’s press secretary, said that assuming the report of the test is accurate, the United States would now go to the United Nations to determine “what our next steps should be in response to this very serious step.” Nuclear testing is often considered a necessary step to proving a weapon’s reliability as well as the most forceful way for a nation to declare its status as a nuclear power. “Once they do that, it’s serious," said Harold M. Agnew, a former director of the Los Alamos weapons laboratory, which designed most of the nation’s nuclear arms. "Otherwise, the North Koreans are just jerking us around.” Networks of seismometers that detect faint trembles in the earth and track distant rumbles are the best way to spot an underground nuclear test. The big challenge is to distinguish the signatures of earthquakes from those of nuclear blasts. Typically, the shock waves from nuclear explosions begin with a sharp spike as earth and rock are compressed violently. The signal then tends to become fuzzier as surface rumblings and shudders and after shocks create seismologic mayhem. With earthquakes, it is usually the opposite. A gentle jostling suddenly becomes much bigger and more violent. Most of the world’s seismic networks that look for nuclear blasts are designed to detect explosions as small as one kiloton, or equal to 1,000 tons of high explosives. On instruments for detecting earthquakes, such a blast would measure a magnitude of about 4, like a small tremor. Philip E. Coyle III, a former head of weapons testing at the Pentagon and former director of nuclear testing for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, a weapon design center in California, said that the North Koreans could learn much from a nuclear test even if it was small by world standards or less than an unqualified success. “It would not be totally surprising if it was a fizzle and they said it was a success because they learned something,” he said. “We did that sometimes. We had a missile defense test not so long ago that failed but the Pentagon said it was a success because they learned something, which I agree with. Failures can teach you a lot.” William J. Broad contributed reporting from New York, and Thom Shanker from Washington. ------------------------------------------------------------ 다음은 asahi 신문 http://www.asahi.com 에 있는 기사임. 記事 塩崎官房長官「厳重に抗議」　北朝鮮核実験 2006年10月09日13時45分 　北朝鮮による核実験実施の発表を受けて、安倍首相は訪問先のソウルから塩崎官房長官に情報の収集と分析を指示した。首相は記者団に「今後、米国や中国とも連絡をとりながら情報の収集分析を行わなければならない。韓国側とも今後の対応について打ち合わせをしていきたい」と述べ、日韓首脳会談の場で対応を協議する考えを示した。 ソウルの国立墓地を後にする訪韓中の安倍首相。関係修復のため、盧武鉉大統領との首脳会談に臨むが、北朝鮮の核実験発表が影を落とした＝９日、ＡＰ 　政府は９日午前１１時半に官邸対策室を立ち上げ、情報収集を進めている。塩崎官房長官は同日午後１時すぎ、首相官邸で記者会見し、「気象庁では該当する地震波を分析中で、外務省、防衛庁も関係機関と連絡を取り合っている。事実とすれば、北朝鮮の行動は我が国のみならず北東アジアおよび国際社会の平和と安全に対する重大な脅威で、核不拡散条約（ＮＰＴ）体制に対する重大な挑戦で、日朝平壌宣言、６者会合の共同声明に違反するものだ。日本政府としても厳重に抗議をし、断固として強く非難をする」と語った。 ------------------------------------------------------------ 다음은 동아닷컴 http://www.donga.com 에 있는 기사임. 노대통령 주재 안보장관회의 국가안전보장회의로 격상 정부는 9일 오전 북한 함경북도 화대군 지역에서 핵실험으로 추정되는 지진파가 감지됨에 따라 긴급 소집된 노무현 대통령 주재 안보관계장관회의를 낮 12시를 기해 국가안전보장회의(NSC)로 회의체의 수준을 격상시킨 것으로 알려졌다. 청와대 관계자는 이날 연합뉴스와의 전화통화에서 "낮 12시부터 안보관계장관회의가 NSC로 바뀌었고, 회의는 계속 진행되고 있다"고 말했다.
