ok...this is the biggest dad...i need to find alot of stuff relevent to the atomic bomb and or the chain reaction that happens when an electron splits an unstable nucleus...if you know a good site or if you have some pertenent info....please e-mail me back.

thanx...

How to make a 100 kiloton nuclear bomb:

Take approximately 10 kilograms of pure Plutonium and make it into a ball. Surround it in a 12 foot diameter ball of TNT high explosive. Set detonators to electrically detonate the TNT from about 20 or 30 places around the outside of the sphere. When it explodes, it will implode the Plutonium mass into a critical mass which will produce a massive explosion. Of course, you can't get your hands on the Plutonioum, because it is the deadliest poison known to man. You would also run the risk of making a critical mass and killing yourself from the radiation produced trying to assemble a bomb. You have to be in the military to get TNT. Pure Plutonium is carefully guarded to prevent terrorists from getting it, beacuse it does take very much of it to make a bomb. Dynamite does not have the explosive power to implode the Plutonium and compress the metal into a critical mass. The first atomic bomb did just the above. They knew what they were doing. The details on how to sucessfully do it are carefully guarded. The above information can be gotten from a Nuclear Engineering text book. That part is freely known by just about anyone who has studied Nuclear Engineering or Reactor Designs. Pretty simple, yet extremely hard to sucessfully make. Intentionally made so. I am glad. Becauses a bomb of that magnitude could kill tens of thousands of people. That would the most horrific thing to happen. Please use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
