WTF? Canada bracing for North Korean nuke fallout

Canadian officials have been quietly preparing for the fallout from an atmospheric nuclear-weapons test by North Korea, including the spread of radioactive debris across the ocean and the significant public concerns that would arise, internal government memos show.

In the event of a test, Health Canada's radiation protection bureau would monitor contamination, while various federal agencies would manage any dangers to the public and ensure everyone is well-informed about developments.

Radiation levels would depend on the size and height of a detonation and weather patterns over the Pacific Ocean, according to model scenarios mapped out by the bureau.

The protection bureau would be on standby to answer questions from Global Affairs Canada about any needed steps to protect diplomatic staff.
