I had heard that there were going to be some tests concerning tritium depletion (tritium tends to decay and needs to be replaced in thermonuke devices, and there are some interesting supply problems concerning tritium these days; it has always been hard to stock up on ;-)) Anyone heard anything about this nuke engine that keeps getting cryptically mentioned in association with SDI, etc?
