Tamper (nuclear weapon)
- ... that the W71 nuclear warhead had a tamper made of gold? Source: "Gold (Z=79) has been used in at least one weapon design as part of the tamper (or possibly the radiation case) - the W-71 warhead for the Spartan ABM missile" ([1]) [nb: offline second source used in the article says the tamper. The W71 radiation case was made of thorium.]
- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

Hook is interesting and within acceptable limits. Sources check. Article expanded 5x in a timely fashion. Image has Creative Commons license. Am a little astonished about the detail and depth of the material in the Physics section, obviously not aimed at the average reader, but not a DYK criteria issue. There is a minor close paraphrasing issue to deal with involving nuclearweaponarchive.org, general phrases aside. See Duplication Detector results. No other problems. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 21:32, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- This seems to be only technical terms. Earwig reports no violation. [2] Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:05, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
What concerned me is that some of the tech terms were strung together in the same manner as the source. Since Earwig reports no flagrant similarities then there's no further need to belabor this. Article is good to go. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 01:17, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
