You still are not on the right page, John.
I think this is because you are unaware of Leif Holmlid’s work, and how that
work fits into the big picture of World politics. Holmlid is showing complete
mass conversion of nucleons into energy, which is a step above nuclear fusion.
He has been publishing this in peer reviewed journals for a decade but AFAIK,
none of his important experiments are independently replicated, at least not in
the USA.
I will try to be more specific on the details. Going back to the original
premise, if we can believe both Professor Holmlid and North Korea – then what
we are facing is precarious situation for World Peace which could be worse than
imagined by experts. The points to consider and combine are:
1) Holmlid has presented a technique to make an ultra-dense from of
deuterium (UDD) which has a nucleon separation of 2.3 picometers.
2) This material has been shown to be much easier to fuse than normal
deuterium. In fact, Holmlid can fuse UDD and even cause complete nucleon
disintegration, using only a milliwatt laser for triggering.
3) NK has been involved in LENR since about 2001, according to an earlier
press release. They certainly are capable of doing sophisticated research in
nuclear physics and can be assumed to have read Holmlid’s papers.
4) NK has this week tested what they call a compact “hydrogen bomb” but
the yield is in the range of few kilotons – far less than a fission triggered
fusion type of H-bomb and less than a boosted design.
5) This combination of salient facts, if true, leads to only a few
conclusions about what is really going on behind the scenes.
6) One conclusion, which may be unlikely but which cannot be ignored, is
that NK has managed to make enough of the Holmlid deuterium (UDD), or even
UDDT, to weaponized.
7) The great risk of open-research on the internet is that an exotic
material such as UDD, which can be easily converted into energy, can be
produced and disintegrated without a fission trigger by a Rogue Nation or
well-funded terrorist group.
8) For instance, if you do the numbers to extrapolate from Holmlid’s tests
to the 5 kiloton explosion which did happen this week – then it is possible
that a few grams of UDD could produce that kind of result if fully
disintegrated into muons. The ratio for comparative energy of UDD to TNT is
about one billion to one. The NK could even have used laser triggering.
For a sardonic laugh, imagine 1,000 laser-pointers surrounding a tiny fuel
pellet like mini version of NIF.

Looking it up, Boosted Fission if a Fission-Fusion bomb where the Fusion
instead of being the main event is merely a minor improver of Fission
efficiency.
Fusion Fission (as a bomb) is not possibly according to anything declassified
or any known physics within reason.
