It takes a great deal more than suggesting something so well-known
(and which takes a nuclear reactor) to get a call from a TLA.

Try posting a detailed blueprint for a nuclear weapon in an arsenal,
or at least something when has been tested. I listen very closely to
when weapon designers talk, and it is very obvious that they're damn
careful about what they say and what they don't say.
