If the F90 code works it gives the same answers as the F77 code, no need to test any bombs.
Move along folks, nothing more to see.

That's not how validation works in systems like that. It may be the same. But you still need to fill out and sign a lot of forms to validate it. It's a bit like you can't compile some code and say "this works the same as FIPS module, I'm FIPS compliant".

You have to fill out a lot of forms but you don’t need to fire another bomb unless you believe the data you have isn’t sufficient to build some new kind of weapons that involves physics that isn’t well modeled.

If there actually were a Fortran 77 compiler industry, it would deserve to die.
