by comparison, the first plutonium core nuclear device tested by the united states (trinity test) had a yield of 20 kilotons of tnt, and the first nuclear device detonated by india in 1974, though of primitive design, had a yield in the region of 8 kilotons of tnt. if the north korean nuclear test is less than even a kiloton in yield, it would be a historically small inaugural nuclear test. even if it were as many as the reported intentional yield of 4 kt it would be the smallest nuclear test ever conducted by a state as a first test. some advanced nuclear powers have produced very small tactical nuclear weapons in the low-kiloton range, but their development is far more technologically challenging than that of weapons in the 15–20 kiloton range, requiring advanced weapons materials and core geometries.
