Habiger has to weigh whether the risks of exposing additional classified nuclear data outweigh the need for the prosecution of the scientist, Wen Ho Lee.

There is no acknowledgement that it lacks the archival nuclear data from field tests ( the nuclear computer codes ) to engage in such virtual-reality testing.

Although the indictment accused him of mishandling nuclear data, the charges did not accuse Lee of spying or of any espionage offenses related to a foreign government.
