Nukes 3of6: The Implosion Bomb and Uranium Enrichment

[ATL45]

Talking about what a terrorist group would or wouldn't do to build a bomb, and no mention whatsoever of "salted" bombs? I'm kind of disappointed.

If we want to prevent a nuclear attack by terrorists, we should guard our cobalt!

[datkillah420]

damn he has like 50 chalk boards wtf lol

[Carnuss]

Why can't we make nano nuclear reactors for energy or something instead creating a million different ways to destroy life?

[detroitMC313]

wow... this guys the bomb. lmao. stupid joke, but i had to do it ha haa

[UKimpact]

this guy miss's the point a terrsiost organisation would build the bomb they would buy one

[Mystygian]

ashamed of course and you should care

[arghydoodles]

how come you need an implosion?

[theinquisitor]

The fissile material needs to be compressed into a small space in order to cause a chain reaction. An implosion is one way of achieving the so-called critical mass quickly enough to cause a chain reaction.

[PS2djX]

simply and complete

[Intenzity]

Verdassan - you should read more about the history of the bomb.

Oppenheimer and Lawrence both came from Berkeley, Lawrence built his first cyclotron there.

Berkeley, Princeton, and University of Chicago are probably are the three main schools that contributed brains to making the bomb happen.

[DrMotorDude]

It was Kader (not Kahlid) Hamza, neither here nor there BUT--- YES! he was in Iraq and his defection is one of the main reasons Iraq never put together a working bomb. Begging the prof's pardon but, if North Korea, India, Pakistan and France can do it, it isn't as hard to do as some would have you believe.

[burnzeee]

were losing the point here, this is nothing but a long winded explaination of nuclear sciences and how could you apply the theory of reletivity (E=MC2) to nuclear sciences it has next to nothing to do with the bomb exploding itself.

[Vedaseran]

It amazes me that they are talking atom bombs at hippy liberal Berkeley. I just find that really unexpected.

[blacklions714]

Smoke and mirrors, this guy is just trying to make the idea more complicated then it really is. E=mc2, that's all that is needed. Fuck the quantum approach to creating the explosion, its bullshit. And the Russians have the superior knowledge of the nuclear weapon, and so do the Chinese over America.

[brockunc]

@black: You don't know what you're talking about. If it was easy to build a nuc every country and terrorist group out there would have one. The concept of converting matter to energy is not the hard part, its the engineering. The quantum understanding of atoms is the reason we are able to make these weapons. Also China is no where near our level of knowledge and sophistication. The Russians use to have as much knowledge but now are lagging.

[blacklions714]

Ahh, the number of ambiguous nuclear mights, just might surprise you. And remember HEU is undetectable. And thanks to A.Q. Khan, every one has access to this knowledge now around the world. Don't live in the delusion about American superiority any more. We are left behind, and Our world of 6.5 billion has put together greater efforts to make these wonderful deterrence from Tyrannical authorities like the US from having too much power. Chinese scientist have surpassed us. They don't need the US.

[Vedaseran]

The United States is tyrannical? What?! This country is a very very free place to live, at least so far.

I think the words you were looking for were "too involved with entangling alliances"

[goddesslush]

China has nuclear weapons in the megaton range they are not lagging behind nor is russia what are you talking about?

[iran1305]

ahmadinejad said in "The world without zionism confrence' on 26/10/2005 in tehran :israel should be wiped off the world map....the "World without Zionism" conference was held in Tehran.

[rumble11]

THat video possibly being one of the most comprehensives

[Davebfd]

Oops I accidentally rated as 1 :(

[kurtilein3]

the chart he shows around 1:30 is flawed, the ignition points for the explosive lenses are wrong. and the boundaries between the different types of explosives (slow burning and fast burning) are no straight lines, they need to have parabolic shape.

and although two layers of explosive lenses are used in a few weapons, one layer normally does the job. another layer makes it redundant, but thats not needed when your igniters are good enough.

[Metallic7Dust]

Didn't you catch the point that the man who made the design was the person in charge of the nuclear bomb program in Iraq?
