"North Korea has a very abundant flow of underground water, and if you carried out an underground nuclear test in this kind of environment, radioactive material would get into the water supply of the whole of the Korean Peninsula," he said.

It will lead to the destruction of the ecological system and the topography of the land as well as its adjacent seas, he said.

They probably participated in a joint desert test with Pakistan in 1998.

When you claim to have only one, might not be a good idea to use that as a tester.

Good point. But I think it's even better not to attempt a test if you don't have one yet. Leave it to North Korea to make up an excuse that appeals to South Korean university students' feelings of ethnic nationalism.
