Talk:Tsetse (nuclear primary)

Beware the old story

The only source given is the Chuck Hansen article, Beware the Old Story. The relevant paragraph of this article is:

In fact, nearly 43 percent of the alleged problems could be blamed on five primaries. The MK 43, W44, W50, MK 57, and W59 shared a common primary, the “Tsetse”; the W/MK 28, W40, and W49 also used a common primary, the “Python.” Both of these primaries were plagued by a tritium cross-section miscalculation discovered during the early 1960s after the nuclear testing moratorium had ended.

There is no other mention of a Tsetse primary in the article. This paragraph is the entire source of the current Wikipedia article. Hansen provided no references and no indication of his sources. I also note this is an advocacy article. The second paragraph of the article is:

If this occurs, both the public and Congress would be wise to examine previous arguments by the nuclear weapons establishment–which were invariably characterized by outright falsehoods, half truths, and wild exaggerations.
