India's nuclear power a 'myth'
India's status as a nuclear power has been described as a "myth" by the scientist who carried out its controversial hydrogen bomb tests in 1998.
He said the device had only "fizzled."
...
According to K. Santhanam, who directed the secret detonations of five Shakt' nuclear devices at their nuclear test site at Pokhran, in the Rajasthan desert, the true test results were covered up and falsely hailed as a success by the Hindu nationalist BJP government.
"The decision to declare the hydrogen bomb a success was more of a political fatwa than a considered scientific-technical determination," he said. He has now called for an inquiry into the test results and warned that the creation of nuclear power could not be "based on myths."
No surprise here since everybody knows that keling cockroaches're still full-of-shit & know-nothings.
