The current issue of The New Yorker has an article by Seymour Hersh on what Pakistan and North Korea have been up to since 1997.

"[W]ith Pakistan's help, the North Koreans had 'chopped many years off' the development process" of an enriched- uranium bomb.... Pakistan helped North Korea conduct a series of 'cold tests,' simulated nuclear explosions, using natural uranium, which are necessary to determine whether a nuclear device will detonate properly."
