The link you provide is a paper written by an undergrad. You consider that the definitive source on the Manhattan Project?

I wish Feynman were still with us. He'd bust a spleen over that one.

An undergrad taking a 200 level class.

Here is another good site for the Manhattan Project although it is more devoted to the history of the program.

The aricle I refered you to was vague and lacking detail. The writer did not include the detail that U-238 is the more unrefined Uranium from which the more refined U-235 was produced. In that respect, we are both correct. There are several other tecnical sites that point that out.

I refuse to split hairs over this pointless detail when my main point in the first place was; There is no easy way to produce a fusion bomb.

You seem to be well versed on this subject, so why spread unnecessary panic amongst the people who are not?

My point is; If a Terrorist group manages to obtain enough radioactive material to produce a DIRTY BOMB, the results will be serious but not devastating to the degree of a Nuclear Device. A DB might effect an area of several city blocks but it will not achieve the mass destruction or geographical contamination that the Terrorists are looking for.
