Ahhhhhh so thats what Tony & George were spouting about then, so well we were looking in the wrong place then ! :devil:Quote:
Cost estimates to remove the bomb would take as long as five years and cost $5 million to $11 million, but the volatility of the explosives used to cause nuclear fusion are still a clear and present danger, even though the risks of a nuclear detonation are very slight...

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.
