OK, it turns out that I actually do have the document this is based on — a Top Secret (not anymore) hearing before the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy from June 1956. It shows how the army, at least, reasoned its way into these numbers...

It's new research into the fallibility of mainly decent people (entirely American men) trying to find a path into this world with nuclear bombs.
