After it became clear that the two superpowers would not go to war, efforts were made to limit the production of these terrible weapons, and to reduce existing sto... [ read more >> ]

UCSD Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Hoanh Vu is using computer-simulation tools to help predict the safety and reliability of nuclear weapons
