		<description>Thanks for the input Dave.  I was going off this definition:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon_design#Plutonium_pit

&quot;The core of an implosion weapon â&quot; the fissile material and any reflector or tamper bonded to it â&quot; is known as the pit. Some weapons tested during the 1950s used pits made with U-235 alone, or in composite with plutonium,[8] but all-plutonium pits are the smallest in diameter and have been the standard since the early 1960s.&quot;

As well as the definition cited in the AP report that I cited:

		<description>Benito,

You can not have a &quot;plutonium pit&quot; as PIT is an acronym for Plutonium Implosion Trigger. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boosted_fission_weapon for more details.
