N Korea set to blow up nuke plant on TV

Secretive North Korea is preparing a global TV spectacular to dramatise its commitment to scrapping nuclear weapons, as world powers gave a wary welcome to its disclosure of some atomic secrets.

The communist state is set to blow up the cooling tower at the plutonium-producing Yongbyon complex - the most visible symbol of a decades-old pursuit of nuclear bombs.

In an effort to win over western TV audiences North Korean officials plan to stuff the cooling tower with B grade celebrities who will be set challenges to escape the impending explosion. The show will be call "I'm a celebrity, get me out of this North Korean nuclear plant before they blow the crap out of it."

Viewers will have the opportunity to vote to have their least favourite celebrities stay in the cooling tower.
