a fake

Looks like NK really didn't have a nuke after all. They probabbly packed some bunker complex full of hundreds of tons of dynamite to simulate the explosion.

Not a fake by Brandon :: NR9

It appears the initial report received by CNN was incorrect. From the updated version of the link you provided:

The national intelligence office statement said the air samples were collected Wednesday, and analysis found debris that would be consistent with a nuclear test "in the vicinity of Punggye" on Monday. ... The South Korean Defense Ministry told CNN that the United States has informed it that radioactivity has been detected. The report is in contrast to information provided to CNN earlier Friday from two U.S. government officials with access to classified information. Those officials said that an initial air sampling over North Korea showed no indication of radioactive debris.

Also, the lack of radioactivity doesn't necessarily mean there wasn't a nuclear test. It's possible that N. Korea contained the site.
