Klystrons must be essential for detonation, then?

Current Events » in reply to Center for Defense Information estimates Israel warhead count at 200+ (n/t)

The old count used to be around 200, dating from Times articles from around 1990 - can't be more specific, long time since I looked at it, info should be over at FAS internet site

I don't know about additional uranium supplies since original Belgian Congo lift - also, no klystrons since US diversion?

Seems to me that klystrons must be essential for detonation of Israel's design (US lift?) for boosted fission/fussion warheads -

welcome to my world -
