Kritavarma,

Read pgs 79-82 of BK's book "India's Nuclear Policy". Has a lot of information.
Arunji,
If BKs assertion abt 1MT single warhead is true, where can it be tested ? Or is it a conservative design (1Mt/1.5 ton is a low yield/weight) compared to the smaller, more risky design tested in 1998, which is why they feel more confident abt it ? puzzling, but may be an explanation for why we passed frm 1 ton to 1.5 ton payloads...
