They have already tested this type of missile before only to be internationally embarrassed with a misfire. However, it seems like the source seems to think that they got all the kinks worked out.
If they were to launch a missile at the US and successfully get an air burst detonation over Los Angeles, the radiation would be the least of our problems. The Electro Magnetic Pulse would do widespread damage to the eletrical grid as well as every electrically powered device would be rendered useless, and yes this includes your cars and smart phones.
Tomorrow, I will post my weekly CBRN discussion, and instead of covering filters for APRs as I previously mentioned, in light of the NKorean missile test, I will instead discuss Nuclear Weapons Effects. I should have it up by 8pm tomorrow.
