I don’t mean to be flip, but they didn’t need the archive to figure this out. They could have looked it up on Wikipedia.pic.twitter.com/orvSELpWU4

2/ Also they could've just googled this from @ArmsControlWonk, like I just did. None of this is news. Acting like it is...serves another agenda.https://www.armscontrolwonk.com/archive/202567/uranium-deuteride-initiators/ …

I think the fact that they are using MS Paint for this probably indicates it's not actually something all that crucial...

ISIS has touted that diagram before. It's like Sam Glasstone said at Los Alamos staff member orientation: It used to be classified to draw concentric circles.

Nah. You'd need dimensions and materials for classification.

Yup. Or someone's claims about them. Which is why you can draw concentric circles and not have them mean anything.

...can we go back to using MS Paint for nuwep schematics? Because I’ve been telling people that advances on computing make proliferation easier but if they’re using MS Paint then clearly the benefits are not universal ffs.
