A bit worrying!

Hence why the UN always goes loopy over stuff like this - because all it's members already have nukes and don't want to share the power about any further.

Only a very small number of the 193 UN member countries have nuclear weapons by the way.

Suffice to say, even if North Korea manage to build a viable nuclear weapon, I simply can't see them being crackers enough to actually use it.

After all, they've had the capability to render a sizeable part of South Korea - a country they're still technically at war with - to rubble for a long time and haven't yet.

Far more of a concern is the amount of low grade nuclear material that's not properly secured in various parts of the world that could easily be converted into a dirty bomb by one of the crackpot groups out there, and that would be sufficient to render a large part of a major Western city uninhabitable and cause many nasty radiation related illnesses and eventual deaths.
