It wasn't exactly grist for a white-knuckle thriller...

The legacy codes are sets of equations that approximate how nuclear explosions work; they are modified as weapons tests are conducted to assess the potency of new designs. Coupling the codes with actual engineering specifications for warheads--like the W-88 designs China has already stolen--would give a foreign government a road map for replicating the American nuclear arsenal...
