Heraclius, maybe you and I should collaborate. We'll build our nuclear weapons together MWHAHAHAHAHA lol.
Well, it depends, a scout was able to build a critical massed breeder reactor easily... And a simple weapons is nothing more than smashing 2 big rocks together at high speed...
irst of all, if your talking about the scout I think you are, all he managed to do is give himself radiation sickness with the alpha emiting nuclitides in smoke dectors. What he messed with would never give you good quality nuclear material to do anything useful with, just irradiate a few things including yourself. I mean to make U235 in a good quantity, you must have a centerfuge and know how to make Uranium Hexiflouride gas. Then using the difference in mass between U238 and U235, you slowly separate the 2 (takes quite a few rounds) and then you must convert back into pure Uranium. Otherwise, you do what the English did back during WW2 and have a huge lead block with holes drilled through, shove U238 in through the holes, leave it for a bit eventually having the material fall ou the back into a pool of water, then you have some weapons grade Plutonium. But well yeah, bit more to it then that but there is the gist.Quote:

Indeed, the problem with building a bomb isn't building the bomb itself, its get sufficient amounts of weapons grade Uranium to create a big enough bomb.
I would be trying to build a Hydrogen bomb, but that requires all sorts of other steps and North Korea couldn't even get it right!
well yes, there are many ways to enrich material, its all about the mass diference and how they react slightly differently.
Well, I did read "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes, and the material is super-common, the Navajo Reservation is the largest unused, proven reserve currently known...
well yes, America has the one of the greatest supplies of Uranium in the world. Our soil has a slightly higher amount of Uranium in it then else where in the world. By the way, did you know the first nuclear reactor was natural? Because a few million years ago in South Africa, the conditions were just right that a nuclear reaction began to take place.
