His estimate was derived using information from the Freedom of Information Law request, declassifications official documents, newspaper stories, and leaking, and he said it shows that states Others can certainly do the same arithmetic. "There are a large number of god knows how many suggestions, resources, and information. But if it was possible for the nuclear geeks like us to get too close, then I am sure sure that our enemies may know it, too. "
