Anybody know what happened to the proposed fissionless H-bomb of the '60s ? Presumambly it never got working.
According to an editorial in the SF Chronicle by Edward Teller from about a year ago, the folks in Livermore have teamed up with their counterparts in Russia to develop just that. This is one of marvels of post-cold war cooperation. Teller failed to understand the need for such a project. Clearly, the availability of non-fission (catstrophic)fusion devices should lead to an increased market penetation of such devices. There are few products where supply and demand are as missmatched as is the case with H-bombs. The spot market will welcome this relief. -- Lucky Green <shamrock@cypherpunks.to> PGP encrypted email preferred. "Tonga? Where the hell is Tonga? They have Cypherpunks there?"
