I hadn't heard that, but then again I have not been paying close attention. Considering that the ostensible size of the explosion was "only" half a kiloton, it's not inconceivable that the explosion was so inefficient as to throw around only minimal amounts of radioactivity.
At an even further stretch, maybe they just piled 500 tons of dynamite at the bottom of a deep mine shaft and touched it off to scare people...remember, we are dealing with Kim Jong Il here, even though he is "Master of the Computer That Surprised the World" (see also (http://ltmurnau.livejournal.com/92882.html).
