I think if two pieces of uranium are pushed together by force fast enough they should have a special bigger nuclear explosion.

yeah i think you can just make a dirty bomb by putting a few pieces of nuclear fuel into small-resized moderators and weld them together by a steel wire (or however the hell that fixed breakable thing is called)

So far i made a bomb via Cf-253 and Cs-137 (and throwing another Cf-253 to catalyze the explosion or throw the bomb into water), I also added some general purpose bombs to further increase the strength

yeah, if you were able to surround a uranium with some high explosives and detonated them all at the same time you would get implosive force enough to trigger a nuclear explosion(if done correctly)

maybe even fusion components in the near future

From my knowledge all thermonuclear bombs were also catalyzed by the energy from fission so it might involve Lithium Deuteride, Subcritical Pu/U and regular bombs

yes

the reason i can't do this right now is because the bomb would be the size of three cars due to the fact that _nothing_ blocks radiation
Michael Powers 19 May, 2021 @ 6:35am 
ah, maybe is a different way to make it

there will be custom nukes if i can get them to work
Michael Powers 19 May, 2021 @ 8:03am 
cool

an idea I was thinking of would be to create 3 things, the first would be the tamper which could come in 4 1/4 pieces that make a sphere together and they are arranged close together but not touching, in the center you could have a spherical pit and then when someone wants to activate it they could surround the tamper with explosives in a certain way which could cause the pieces to be forced into each other and the pit(you could maybe program it to determine how the reaction happens based on the speed and force of the pieces slamming together) and these components could be made of the various radioactive materials and maybe even some fusion fuel at some point.

i mean if you make a fuel rod hot enough you can kind of make a bomb without a mushroom cloud and all that other stuff. but yes make nuclear bombs.

Bombs could work by triggering a nuclear explosion while a fuel rod is under a sufficient radiationlevel.

A simple mechanism, yet effective.

1 / (radiation * temperature * velocity) = x
x * constant = y

A script checks if y is greater than a certain value.
When this property reaches a certain value, then the rod explodes.

Before a custom explosion is made, the default nuclear explosion would be used.
If there is a custom explosion effect, then explosion radius and force could vary per rod.
