No one does it any more. Invest in better supercomputers and keep accumulating as much material as possible. Nuclear testing is more to flex one's muscle than to really test if those weapons will work. Its not such a big deal - the bomb on Hiroshima was made with fairly low tech back-end and not using computers as we see today.
India must sign the treaty , get as much material as possible
aur jab zarurat hogi testing it - the nuke deal with US may not just be neccessary and they can take back their stuff.

No, you can't fool around with the material, all the fuel at each stage will be monitored by international inspectors. So, there is no scope of fooling US.

The reactors which are not under US observations can go full steam in producing nuclear grade material. This is the fear US Congress has and hence the deal is far from being ratified even if India agrees to it. President Bush is on a weaker platform in HIS legislature than Manmohan is.

Without actual test data the accuracy of simulation is far from credible. Kindly read this; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_testing India has done only 6 tests and only one for Fusion-device boosted by fission. That needs more testing.

u hv a very limited knowledge boss. to do simulation u need real data which comes from real testing. US has done so many tests, before doing simulation.

With simulation, you can win lot of cricket matches, but when it comes to the real game, its a totally different story. BTW USA has carried out the maximum number of Nuclear tests and in fact performed the ultimate live test on Japan.

Most Important: good one, hiral. Secondly, fusion is a big source of energy - bigger that fission. As far as simulation is concerned, remember our lovely cricket team? they actually practice on the nets for hourson end... they sit on their lap-tops too. What do you say about their results? {kindly forget england tour as a regrettable mistake}
there is no substitute for the real thing, as any person in science will readily confirm.
