The scarey thing is that building your own nuke does n’t seem as intemperately as it should be . grave and expensive ? Yes . Impossible ? Not so much . Kim Jong Il , please do n’t read this .
The list of items you ’ll need :
• $ 10 million
• 150 acres of heart-to-heart infinite
• A workshop
• A lathe , a furnace , a surplus gun gun
• A gifted group of engineer types who know their mode around weapon intent , metallurgy , ballistics , electronics and physics .
• Oh , and that atomic material : plutonium or extremely enriched uranium ( HEU )
There ’s two method in triggering a nuclear bomb calorimeter : an implosion gimmick or gun assembly . An implosion - triggered fission bomb compress fissionable masses together through an volatile charge . That sound crazy , cool and crazy cool but the gun meeting place is easy to make , and was used in Hiroshima . Pro tip : only use HEUs in gun meeting place . The raging market to snaffle HEUs is in Russia , where they do n’t keep hard-and-fast records of their nuclear textile and have tons of it lie around from their Soviet days .
The cosmopolitan gist behind get nuke - ready is :
If you shoot one piece of HEU at another , you take out Toledo . The process is a little like getting a orchis of HEU , off the core as you would an apple ’s , bolting the pitted end to the muzzle of an artillery torpedo , then firing the core back into its center .
to do that , you need to unfreeze the Uranium at 2,069 degrees Fahrenheit . Once decently melted , you place it in a lathe for shaping . Then lock up and load an gun gun for hire and boom , bang and out . You ’re a terrible human being .
Sure , maybe it ’s not that easy but the earth needs to keep ripe cart track of their atomic material . If the wrong hands — terrorists , North Korea , or horrifically evil but rich phratry — get their hands on the plutonium or HEU that is float around in the populace , we can all say hello to Nuclear Warfare and goodbye to life .
