Talk:Tamper (nuclear weapons)

Conflating tamper and reflector

The current text, which it looks like it was lifted out of the neutron reflector article (general, not just nuclear weapons specific), conflates the roles and importance in different weapons of tampers, reflectors, and combined tamper/reflector systems. This wasn't perhaps the best choice of approaches for the article, as they're really distinctly different behavior and you may well not have both effects present in any significant way in a particular weapon.

Correct. It was lifted out of the neutron reflector article. A tamper is not a neutron reflector. That's why I split it off into a separate article. Feel free to rewrite it; I'll be coming back to do so. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 10:39, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
