"The top of the atomic cloud reached an altitude of 17,000 meters. " thats about 10 and a half miles high.
It doesnt have the 5km radius figure, I'm still looking for where that came from, but it seems reasonable.

Well, if we really want to get complicated- the North Koreans were planning to test a nuke, but the test went wrong, and it occured next to a bunch of military installations full of rocket fuel and high explosives, hence a gigantic boom.

No, it's rather twice as large.
and ironically enough, that's about as "logical" an alternative explanation available. This was an atomic test of >50~ kilotons, and the public gets to learn of it like an incremental walk into shocking cold water

The mushroom cloud wasn't that large, it is saying that the most critical damage occurred within that radius...
"The cloud measured 3.5 to 4 kilometres in diameter, an unidentified diplomatic source told Yonhap . "
that seems to be the cloud.
