This week we return to events of early 2016 when North Korea claimed they'd tested a Hydrogen Bomb. Dr Robert Downes, whose research specialises in nuclear security, reveals why it probably wasn't a hydrogen bomb, the incredible challenge of predicting terrorist events, and helps us set off a coke-based explosion of our own!
