No. As has been laid out all are above any blame- scientists, government officials, politicians. All have acted honorably and above reproach. Only jiingos are not exempt.

1. Scientists involved in the 98 tests knew what their expected yields were. And a fizzle would be known to more than a couple of scientists and would be known to the government. It is not completely certain that the armed forces would be in the loop about the fizzle. But the forces would surely kno...

satyarthi

As posted by lakshmi_c the x-ray compression of the secondary fizzles if instabilities arise. One way for TN to fizzle then is if shocks from the primary introduce perturbations leading to instabilities before x-rays have done their job. So in a way shaping/conrolling shocks from the primary is impo...

satyarthi

What I don't understand is how does the shape of the fission generated shockwave important in triggering/generating/maintaining fusion - as compared to temperature alone. Since for a higher yield the secondary needs to be rather large in size and must be physically apart from the primary. The goal ...

If you could get a marble size lump of Pu to fission and explode (may not be possible at all - I don't know)- it could perhaps be used to fuse a grapefruit size mass of Deuterium, so its a good research proejct. If the grapefruit surrounds the marble, then the exploding marble will just rip apart t...

Ramana, Without knowing what the peer reviewed papers actually wrote it is hard to conclude just from that post. If vsunder or you could post the relevant bibliography then it will be easier.

satyarthi

Deciphering vsnder sutra: 1. BARC regularly publishes in peer reviewed journals, but the journals publish only those results that are considered new. So if BARC publishes new results about A, means BARC has competence with A. If B requires similar kind of competence then it is suggestive that BARC m...

One way to decipher John Snow's sutra:

When you mate a 99% reliable TN 1st stage with a scaled version of 99% reliable TN 2nd stage, but never testing them together, then what you get is 98% reliable "confusion-device".

Why do people expect that there will be a great brouhaha if India tests a thermonuke now? After all India is a declared nuclear power now which was not the case in 1998.

While India was chanting universal disarmament, NPT was created specifically to chain it.

CTBT is not yet dead.

Yes, the missile flew to its 43 Km apogee in 150 seconds and then stayed literally afloat (courtesy its lift body design and clipped wings) gliding down to target in the upper rarefied reaches of atmosphere for much of balance time to hit target at ~440 seconds. This time fully using the gliding po...

Is boosted fission easily scalable?

I recall news reports right after the 1998 tests which quoted some scientist saying that they could have easily increased the yield had they put more Tritium.
