How To Build A DIY Nuke
The scariest thing is that building your own nuke doesn't seem as hard as it should be. Dangerous and expensive? Yes. Impossible? Not so much. Kim Jong Il, please don't read this.
The list of items you'll need:
• $10 million
• 150 acres of open space
• A workshop
• A lathe, a furnace, a surplus artillery gun
• A talented group of engineer types who know their way around weapon design, metallurgy, ballistics, electronics and physics.
• Oh, and that nuclear stuff: plutonium or highly enriched uranium (HEU)
There's two methods in triggering a nuclear bomb: an implosion device or gun assembly. An implosion-triggered fission bomb compresses fissile masses together through an explosive charge. That sounds crazy, cool and crazy cool but the gun assembly is easier to make, and was what used in Hiroshima. Pro tip: only use HEUs in gun assemblies. The hot market to grab HEUs is in Russia, where they don't keep strict records of their nuclear material and have tons of it lying around from their Soviet days.
The general gist behind getting nuke-ready is:
what is you intention here, you must be a F@!*ktard.
