Panel of Experts -- Neutron Bomb

The Panel of Experts, who had access to all the "evidence"cited by the Cox committee, fails to support either the general or specific allegations [p87] in the Cox Report of the  "theft of classified US design information for the W-70 thermonuclear warhead"----which the Cox Report characterizes as the "neutron bomb." The Panel of Experts has only this to say: "China also obtained information on a variety of US weapon design concepts and weaponization features, including those of the neutron bomb.

The panel of Experts says nothing about (a) "theft"; says nothing about the information being (b) "classified"; and says nothing about (c) "design information" for any specific weapon.

To a nuclear weapon designer, there is a vast difference between having obtained "design information" [Cox] about a specific weapon and "design concepts"   [Experts]. "Design information" implies "reality," something that has already been done. "Design concepts" implies  "fantasy," something that has yet to be made real.
