This Washington Post news article states that with the advent of computer simulation of nuclear tests, live tests are no longer needed.

Generally speaking there are 3 aspects of an explosion resulting from a nuclear weapon test that are tested:

(a) effectiveness, (b) yield, and (c) explosive capability.

Russia carried out its last nuclear test in 1990, UK in 1991,the US in 1992, France and China in 1996, India & Pakistan in 1998.

List Of nuclear weapon tests

Therefore, does this mean that all aspects of a nuclear explosion can be simulated using super computers, or is there any aspect of a nuclear explosion that cannot be simulated by super computers?
