With all the risks North Korea is taking by continuing down their destructive nuclear course, we can now add “geological risk” to the list. It appears the mountain under which they’re allegedly testing nuclear weapons is “stressed” and may be on the verge of collapse, WaPo is reporting.
The 7200-foot-high Mount Mantap is the site of as many as six nuclear tests and is now suffering from “tired mountain syndrome.” The last nuclear test resulted in a 6.3 magnitude earthquake followed by three more quakes. The mountain visibly shifted as a result.
“What we are seeing from North Korea looks like some kind of stress in the ground,” said Paul G. Richards, a seismologist at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. “In that part of the world, there were stresses in the ground, but the explosions have shaken them up.”
There is more at risk than just a mountain collapsing, causing tremendous geological damage to the region. If they are, indeed, testing nuclear weapons, a catastrophic collapse of the mountain would likely release radiation into the atmosphere with potentially devastating results.
