Robert R. Monroe, Investors.com: In Alarming New Study, Nuclear Lab Scientists Question U.S. Weapons' Performance
A just-released and about-to-be-published scientific report, authored by two respected Los Alamos nuclear experts, raises serious questions about the reliability and performance of U.S. nuclear weapons!
This is important. In today's nuclear weapons era, America's existence depends on our nuclear weapons stockpile. The instant readiness of these weapons for launch by our deployed submarines, bombers, and intercontinental ballistic missiles, and the absolute, unquestioned ability of the weapons themselves to perform meticulously to their certified military characteristics, are our nation's only guarantee of survival.

He told me bluntly at that time that while the science and engineering behind a nuclear weapon is well known, the yield is sometimes a surprise. It sometimes is a dud, and sometimes it produces a yield beyond what was expected. I think this is what concerns these nuclear scientists.
