@wellerstein Do you mean many different possible designs for H-bomb, or many Teller-Ulam style designs?
@cantab_biker And that it was flexible. As opposed to one set of specific fusionable fuel materials, for example, or some brute-force design

@wellerstein So basically they wanted to keep secret that principle behind H-bomb cd. be used for many derivative designs/design families? -
@cantab_biker What they wanted to hide was that there was a new principle behind it at all—something that was substantially not obvious.
