from a source "My info is that there were three parallel tests; your number comes from the first, though the others were little better. Batch I n=8 mtbf= 41.5 hrs. Batch II n=11 mtbf= 49.0 hrs. Batch III n=20 mtbf= 32.0 hrs. My NSA source said that he thought that the difficulty was related to thermal issues and that if environmental issues were addressed or at least audit ed to assure proper operating environment the numbers might have been better. I have been unable to get any 'hard' info re what actually happened and what kind of a post mortem is taking place."
