How was that detected, because that question actually matters period consider how we detected our theory that rods from God were used against the sites in North Korea... They actually physically discovered U238 in the air via sampling
The site in North Korea was a test site. It subsided and the airtightness of the detonation cavities was compromised. U-238 could have been a tamper component of some of the nuclear devices being tested. Or a residue from the enriched uranium used in the fission primary. (Enriched uranium is not 100% U-235.)
It is not at all likely that it was "rods from God." That concept was only an idea put forward by Jerry Pournelle. There are too many difficulties for its realization, and the assumed damage mechanism (total conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy) has never been observed in the use of depleted uranium as tank-penetrating artillery rounds. Just good penetration. No developmental history. And the system would need to be a global constellation.
With all the respect, absolutely not... U238 is the weapons form that you get after enrichment coming which indicates a highly advanced and sophisticated nuclear weapons program
I'm not sure what you mean by your comment. Enriched uranium has a high content of U-235. Raw uranium has a very high content of U-238. Depleted uranium has a reduced level of trace U-235, which makes it slightly less radioactive than raw uranium, and preferable for use as ballast weight.
I saw a video last week about how there’s abnormally high amounts of radiation in the air in this exact region, suggesting bombs or something

U238 is much preferred than U235.

You are correct. I misread your post.
