On point of information - Thanks to Howard Morland, who as it happens was the same Howard Morland who wrote the Progressive article on the Teller-Ulam thermonuclear device concept that sparked the US v Progressive court case, we do have at least two distinct sets of detailed information on advanced nuclear weapons, the aforementioned Teller-Ulam information and the Swan device's basic explosive lens principle/concept. We had a third regarding another specific weapon, sufficient for an expert to reconstruct the weapon design from scratch, but it was removed (by someone else) as anecdotal reporting by a former weapon maintainer that had no reliable sources published. As far as I recall, there has not been anything like an organized on-wiki effort to remove the info, nor has the Foundation done anything that I noticed pursuant to any secret orders they might have received. There's more self-restraint among that field's active participating crowd, things we haven't published yet, than anything else. We had a little kerfuffle over photos of the former head of the National Nuclear Security Agency's Q-clearance badge, but that was as close as it ever came to DoE or others poking their heads in here on any of these topics... -george _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
