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.

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!

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

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.
how come you need an implosion?

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.
