#2 if it was nuclear related we would know from radiation detectors

more likely, it was rocket fuel -- a relatively small amount of rocket fuel can make a very big bang and furthermore, inept handling of the oxidizer and the propellant is a very real danger especially in a country that hasn't an experienced professional tradition in that area

#5 Better hope it's Rocket Fuel. If it's Nuclear and there's a fire, Chernobyl the second might be happening.
