It's the analysis and conclusions of Walter Pincus that show a profound lack of understanding.<BR/><BR/>The JASONS report stated that there's<BR/>more work to do and tests to be <BR/>performed - which is NORMAL in the<BR/>design process; be that Livermore's or<BR/>Los Alamos's. <BR/><BR/>The JASONS report stated that their <BR/>reveiw led them to conclude that the <BR/>RRW [WR1] could be certified without <BR/>testing; given the design program <BR/>outlined by Livermore.<BR/><BR/>But there's is, of course; more work to<BR/>be done.

I could find no negative remarks about the WR1 program itself, just reiteration of what everyone (almost) already understood - there is more work to be done. D'Agostino's remarks are right on, it seems to me.<BR/><BR/>Another interesting recommendation from JASON regarding the peer review process is "responsibility for conducting peer review should be assigned to the weapons design laboratory not leading the design effort."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-40939610007060148192007-10-01T22:15:00.000-06:002007-10-01T22:15:00.000-06:00golf clap for 2:08.well played sir, well played.golf clap for 2:08.<BR/><BR/>well played sir, well played.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-33115762768300298352007-10-01T22:03:00.000-06:002007-10-01T22:03:00.000-06:00The first design of a Reliable Replacement Warhead...The first design of a Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW1) "needs further development" before it can be certified? <BR/><BR/>Well, duh.

Is it possible that the LANL design could have been implemented without any further testing? Sounds like some political hanky-panky going on here.<BR/><BR/>On the long term radar, it looks like our buddy Dingell (sp?) is backing a bill that would raise taxes on gas by 50 cents a gallon. Pretty darn smart from a guy representing the Detroit royalty (GM, Ford, Chrysler)...
