All Right, Your posts are enlightening. Your explanations on some points are useful and rare, no one else has offered them. But my concern is for India to be able to conduct at least two or three more "underground tests". It seems the codes collected from Pokhran II are not satisfactory. Once India has these "codes", good and clear, I am told, there would be no more need for "underground" tests. They can be worked through "computer simulations". I think, under the is Deal there may be serious consequences if India does conduct even one more underground test. Like you, we are all hoping that our Thorium stock can be used for both civil and military purposes and that it would be possible to do so in another ten or fifteen years time!!
