Yes. I think you are drawing the wrong conclusion from the report.
I never worked for DOD, AEC, or DOE, but I have been in the plant where they make the damb things. 3 years ago.
My father in law was a division manger there for 15 years and worked there for 40 years. I knew several of his tech staff well. Some of them are dead now.
He was an EE and I have been a Ham Op since the 1970’s. Also hold a commercial ticket. We spoke the same language. I ran with the techs in NM & AZ from the Labs and the Mil Bases. Does that make me an expert. No.
But the conclusion is false.
