I remember reading that there is some type of conventional explosive in there that can be triggered for a variety of reasons that will destroy the bomb without the nuclear reaction taking place while causing minimal spreading of the radioactive material.
Enter the wrong arming code, attempt to disassemble it incorrectly, or if it sustains a large unarmed impact, it goes off as a safety measure to prevent unintentional detonation, capture of the bomb, or useful radioactive material being recoverable by the enemy.
I read about it in a story by an old timer about the dangers of upgrading and/or decommissioning old nukes at one of the US national laboratories, and I think it may have been mentioned in the story of the US and Russians cleaning up the old Russian testing grounds as well.

This morning I saw a 300Z get his ass handed to him by Ford's little SUV (Escape?) hybrid. The Ford burned the Z when the light turned green, and he kept his lead til the two lanes merged into one. The Z was chirping the tires in 1st - 3rd gears but it was too late:)
I was talking to a construction worker about the Union, and he made a good point. He said that he has worked for a dozen construction companies before starting his own, and nearly every one of the companies he worked for was now out of business for one reason or another, and the only reason he had a pension was because the union made sure it was properly managed.
One of the few good points I've heard on the Union that's relevant nowadays.
I made pulleys out of aluminum and tried to use an o-ring as a belt, but it could not get enough grip to run the motor over 20,000 RPM, so I glued an o-ring around the motor pulley and drove the head shaft pulley directly. I just held the motor in one hand, and the VCR head in the other hand and used my toe to slowly run the throttle stick up on the R/C remote.
Getting the o-ring to stay on that way was kinda challenging, and fun too! As the pulley sped up it would expand and start to hula hoop, and eventually go flying off! Even finding glue that would hold without driving the shaft was a few days of trial and error and lots of careful surface preparation!
It took a lot of strength and practice to get it running full blast, keep it aligned and have enough traction without it walking around the shaft. When that happened, there was no way to get it driving properly again without starting over.
I would guess that the pre-cast walls would be much more consistent than what you would have made on site by many contractors due to the process being more tightly controlled in a factory.
They are likely making a science out of building walls, and have process engineers, QA testing, etc etc. Someone stuck sweating their ass off in a hole in your yard might not be so focused on getting a consistent long lasting product and eliminating the problems that can happen if everything doesn't go perfectly every time, and you have mother nature deciding the curing conditions.
I used to have a brushless R/C motor that would turn 65,000 RPM, and I decided it would be cool to try and make a VCR head turn 250,000 RPM.
It would spin like a top for over an hour, and made for one awesome display of 'look the fuck out' if you let it fall on edge like a wheel.
The gyroscopic force was crazy, it was hard to move it all. I would let it slide out of the bearings and land upside down on my table and then lift the table up slightly and make it crawl uphill and try and drive it around as it spun on the stub of the shaft.
My quest for 500,000 RPM ended rather abruptly as the bearing stuck and pulled the head and very unbalanced lower part (where the head used to be mounted that contained the bearing) out of my hand and it began tearing chunks out of whatever got in the way as it bounced around my room and I ran like hell!
I wish I had another VCR;)

Authentication is normally done by a challenge - response such as a seed and key. The connecting module asks for a certain protocol and access level, and is given a random number that it must compute on to give the key. Once authentication is complete, very few modules need to see anything but the correct message ID# and properly formatted content, and they will happily do their thing no matter what CAN device sent the message.
We used to log CAN data, and replay it back to the ECU to simulate driving, and it was none the wiser. We could take over control with a laptop @ development level security, and control / override anything that the ECU was doing. Want 50 degrees spark advance, it's no problem.
I added software to a module I designed that would allow full control over boost, spark, and fuel without changing a thing in the ECU software, or calibration, and you could not tell it was there when it was not active. We used it to test software changes before we would write our change requests to the coders for ECU software. Many times we wanted to try multiple strategies before committing to change production code, and this let us try anything easily.
One of the last things I worked on with that project was a rolling code seed and key routine to allow the ECU to verify that every CAN message was from the proper authenticated module. It took various parts of the message, and used them to generate the seed that was then mixed with a rolling code to compute the key that was then included at the end of the CAN message. This allowed us to determine if we were being "stomped on" over CAN and would force reauthentication and discard the message if something wasn't right
Encryption was a no-go because the modules had a hard time with the computations and latency became an issue with all but the most expensive MPC555X based processors.
Most customers will not want to pay 5X the cost for every module used in a modern vehicle to include a big-ass processor so it can encrypt data to a plug that's mounted within a foot of their knees.
You can cause just as much loss of control by shorting CANH and CANL together and not allowing the modules to communicate at all.
Need to make an open source ventilated box with exhaust duct project you can build without violating any patents for any specific uses for such a device.
No, that is not an enclosure for my RepRap, due to workspace restrictions I am forced to have the two projects occupy roughly the same area on my bench.

Perhaps we could send a bit of iron to the sun to hurry things up a bit?
Why just destroy our own planet when we could take out a bunch.
And it would stop the 5 eyes from spying on us all (sorry didn't see any references to that in this story yet)
