I'd like to do my part for world peace by seizing about 1/4 OZ of highly enriched Colombian.

HIU could be Weapons Grade in a sophisticated enough bomb, and today computer simulations can be done on a notebook that once took a supercomputer.

Real HEU would make a nasty dirty bomb. To Hell with the dirty bomb. Properly used that is enough to make a device that could level Manhattan

It'll be mighty interesting to see where this stuff came from.

How much was in the Hiroshima bomb?Apparently not enough, hence the need for Nagasaki.

The exact amount required to make an a-bomb is a big secret, but from what I've heard, it's about that much.

"How much was in the Hiroshima bomb? Apparently not enough, hence the need for Nagasaki."
The American Soldiers of WW2 would agree, and so do I.
37 lbs sounds like a alot, but it is very dense.
To: mikegi
It's probably highly-enriched Vodka. You may stand down.

How much was in the Hiroshima bomb?About 140 pounds, but that was back when the equipment and methods were pretty crude. Today 37 pounds is enough.
Here's the real question. Where was it made and how much more has already been produced and delivered from that facility?

25 kg = 55.115 pounds. Almost.

"Here's the real question. Where was it made and how much more has already been produced and delivered from that facility?"
Thats a little too scary for me to comtemplate, any ideas?
To: mikegi
How much would 37 lbs. of Uranium weigh?
To: mikegi
seized it from what kind of a bulgarian plant, a nuclear plant? why was it seized, there has to be more to this story, they must have been planning to sell it to someone.
