re: More tests. Mohan, This is exactly what I was saying. They will need more tests! The Russian statement on the minimum number required is probably good. But remember that the purpose of a test is to see what happens. It may happen that one or more of the tests fail to deliver the expected outcome. If that happens, redesign/reengineering and revision of the computer models would be needed, and then the tests would need to be repeated. This could take a long time! If any major problems are encountered, the time to resolve them could be measured in years. Certainly not weeks. David

Re: Pakistan Tests. Why 5 in one day? Mohan, Maybe the answer is already posted here. All I've seen today is Reuters. Any news on why they test 5 at once? Theories: 1. they have developed more than one type of weapon, having gone all the way to weaponization, and are testing them all at the same time. 2. they were afraid of a dud, so they're testing more than one (but different kinds) at the same time so that at least (hopefully) one will go off. Pakistan can't have a H-bomb. Am I right? These must be plutonium implosion devices like we used at Trinity and Nagasaki. Much simpler than an H bomb. Most everything you need to know is in the public domain anyway. David
