More likely, it's that they will model burn dispersion on conventional high explosives used to collapse Berylium/Polonium shells, or model Lead/Cadmium film thicknesses seperating focii of K-Alpha reflector cavities, one focii of which would contain a Deuterium/Tritium compound. Or it may be that a 7 nodes, they meet the definition of Supercomputer under DOE definitions, and are therefore on the munions list with PGP and DES. I wonder if they have to drop the number of nodes, now that we have 233MHz Intel processors...
