All of this discussion of atom bomb plans reminds me that Analog published *real* plans to make a bomb that any fool terrorist could follow. Other than the fissionables (!?), all the listed materials were commonly available in any slum near an industrial site. My point is this: The Progressive might could have had many fewer problems with publication if they had a more right-wing publication. Of course, Analog's plans had absolutely NO classified material in it, any more than the times that John W. Campbell had visits from the feebies (FBI) just before August 6, 1945. The writer had just used good physics. Astute readers might contrast these cases with the several AvWeek leaks that the DoD has tried to shut down.
