RE: Tritium in old nuclear weapons

["Karam, Andrew" <Andrew_Karam@URMC.Rochester.edu>]

All of the information discussed on this thread is available (and in
considerably more detail) in the book "Dark Sun:  The Making of the Hydrogen
Bomb".  A considerable amount of information is also available in "The
Making of the Atomic Bomb" and in "The Los Alamos Primer".  Even Tom
Clancy's book "The Sum of All Fears" contains a fair amount of decent
information gleaned from unclassified sources.  While your words of caution
are worth noting, the effects of tritium in nuclear weapons are well-known
and freely available.
