The DoD even has a directive defining what a nuclear weapons accident is. You can read up on it at... http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/c...tml/523016.htm (fun reading https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif)
It's one thing to have the terms, it another thing to have one of 11 as part of a disscussion still at large for over 50 years...that's scary! 11!Quote:

Kind of reminds me of the movie "The Sum of All Fears" when they find that old nuke in the desert.
