Abstract

The largest nuclear explosion by North Korea on 3 September 2017 after the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty attracted world wide attention raising questions about its magnitude, yield and its claim as a hydrogen bomb. In this article, an overview of the seismological aspects of the nuclear explosions has been presented. Comparison of the largest North Korean nuclear explosion with that detonated by the other countries has been made. Its source parameters and yield are compared with similar nuclear explosions in the past.
