Annihilation Enterprises'
Construction Project: Atomic Bomb

INTRODUCTION


Worldwide controversy has been generated recently by several United States
government websites removing, or restricting access to, material regarding
technical aspects of nuclear weapons; specifically, how to make an atomic
bomb. The reason usually given by the Administration is that National
Security would be compromised if such information were generally
available. But, since it is commonly known that all of the information is
publicly available in most major metropolitan libraries, obviously the
Administration's officially stated position is covering up a more
important factor; namely, that such atomic devices would prove too
difficult for the average citizen to construct. The United States
government cannot afford to insult the vast majorities by insinuating that
they do not have the intelligence of a cabbage, and thus the "official"
press releases claim National Security as a blanket restriction.

The rumors that have unfortunately occurred as a result of widespread
misinformation can (and must) be cleared up now, for the construction
project this month is the construction of a nuclear device, which will
hopefully clear up any misconceptions you might have about such a project.
We will see how easy it is to make a device of your very own in ten easy
steps, to have and hold as you see fit, without annoying interference from
the government or the courts.

The project will cost between $5,000 and $30,000 dollars, depending on how
fancy you want the final product to be. Since last week's column, "Let's
Make a Time Machine", was received so well in the new step-by-step format,
this month's column will follow the same format.

CONSTRUCTION METHOD


1. First, obtain about 25 pounds (~10 kg) of Plutonium239 at your local
supplier (see NOTES 1 & 2). A nuclear power plant is not recommended, as
you'll have to extract and separate it from spent fuel rods, and it's a
messy job. Besides, large quantities of missing Plutonium tends to make
plant engineers unhappy. We suggest that you contact one of the former
Soviet Republics, or perhaps the Junior Achievement in your neighborhood.

was chosen for the design, because of the ease of transport. Note the
various stickers, which add believability to the disguise.

2. Fashion together a metal enclosure to house the device (Fig. 1). Most
common varieties of sheet metal can be bent to disguise this enclosure as,
for example; a briefcase, a lunch pail, or a Buick. Do not use tinfoil or
gum wrappers.

3. Arrange the Plutonium into two hemispheral shapes (Fig. 2), separated
by about 4 cm. Use rubber cement to hold the Plutonium dust together.

slightly different.
4. Now get about 100 pounds (44 kg) of trinitrotoluene (TNT). Gelignite is
much better, but messier to work with. Your helpful hardware man or local
Bomb Depot store will be happy to provide you with this item.

5. Pack the explosives around the hemisphere arrangement constructed in
step 4. If you cannot find Gelignite, feel free to use TNT packed in with
Playdoh or any modeling clay. Colored clay is acceptable, but there is no
need to get fancy at this point.

6. Wrap this entire structure very tightly with duct tape (Fig. 3). Use a
whole roll. This shall be the neutron reflector and inertial containment.

7. Insert the assembly from step 6 into the enclosure made in step 2. Use
a strong glue such as "Crazy Glue" to bind the hemisphere arrangement
against the enclosure to prevent accidental detonation which might result
from vibration or mishandling.

8. To fabricate a detonator for the device, obtain a radio controlled (RC)
servo mechanism, as found in RC model airplanes and cars. With a modicum
of effort, a remote plunger can be made that will strike a detonator cap
to effect a small explosion. These detonation caps can be found in the
electrical supply section of your local supermarket. We recommend the
"Blast-O-Mactic" brand because they are no deposit-no return.

9. Now hide the completed device from the neighbors and children. The
garage is not recommended because of high humidity and the extreme range
of temperatures experienced there. Nuclear materials corrode easily, and
devices have been known to spontaneously detonate in these unstable
conditions. The hall closet or under the sofa will be perfectly suitable.

10. Now you are the proud owner of a working nuclear device! It is a great
ice-breaker at parties; is nice to cozy around on a cold night; and in a
pinch, can be used for National Defense. 	 Fig. 3 Wrapping the explosive
assembly with inertial confinement material, which also acts as a neutron
reflector.

III. THEORY OF OPERATION

Oversimplified, the device basically works when the detonated TNT
compresses the Plutonium into a critical mass (smaller sphere). The
critical mass then produces a nuclear chain reaction similar to the domino
chain reaction (discussed in this column, "Dominos on the March",
February). The chain reaction happens really, really fast, which promptly
produces a big explosion. And there you have it, a 10 kiloton party favor!
IV. NOTES

1. Plutonium (PU), atomic number 94, is a radioactive metallic element
formed by the decay of Neptunium and is similar in chemical structure to
Uranium, Saturnium, Jupiternium, and Marsium. Not to be confused with
Unobtanium or Balonium.

2. Please remember that Plutonium, especially pure, refined Plutonium, is
somewhat dangerous. The shavings and dust have a nasty habit of igniting
spontaneously, and are practically impossible to extinguish with materials
found around the house. 	 Some Plutonium dust ignites spontaneously in a
lab accident.

Wash your hands with soap and warm water after handling the material, and
don't allow your children or pets to play in it or eat it. Any leftover
Plutonium dust is excellent as an insect repellant. You may wish to keep
the substance in a lead box if you can find one in your local junk yard,
but an old coffee can will do nicely.

V. NEXT MONTH'S COLUMN

In next month's column, we will learn how to clone your neighbor's wife in
six easy steps. This project promises to be an exciting weekend full of
fun and profit. Common kitchen utensils will be all you need. See you next
month!
