Point one, Did this proposal ever make it off the proposal table? The nuke
portion was probably classified and still is. "Proper drawings" were probably
never even made.


As I have some insight in these matters I dare to say that
no drawing ever existed for the actual weapon. The size
and weight for the physical package was known but the
project never got beyond that stage. Bofors was never
officially contracted to manufacture any weapon but they
were the only natural choice.

I guess your insight is rather poor considering the fact that the
proposed nuclear bomb had a name- Surte (Norse Fire Demon/God)- and
that preliminary drawings of the weapon do exist according to an
ex-engineer from Bofors. The Swedish Govt. also continued to
investigate various designs for nuclear weapons long after Sweden
"officially" vowed not to possess such a weapon.



The government didn't, but the defence research agency did.

SNIP!

And you *know* that or have you just read it in Ny Teknik?
A few Ph.D. students were allowed to finish there work related
to basic material science and nuclear physics. All work
directly related to the bomb project ended even before the
official decision made by the government. There are a lot
of people who "know" this and that about the bomb project
and there are others who know!
