"Very expensive FAKE nuclear devices"
And probably sold them on the "red mercury" as well.

Okay, it's not often I resort to toilet humour but this one was too good to resist...
Sounds like a pile of cr4p to me...

Resistors and capacitors manufactured to within plus or minus .0002% are not exactly easy to come by. Commercial stuff is plus or minus 5%, and military spec stuff is plus or minus 2%. Sorry, but this can easily be accomplished. Purchase a large enough lot and do it by selection of matched components rather than by manufacture to a particular spec.

But do they still work?

We can not fight them everywhere but we can damn sure Nuke them. I suppose that would depend on who was President at the time wouldn't it?

I used to make stuff for the industry. The problem is the performance at temperatures and under pressures over time.
I used to match components as part of the building spec process. Quite the paper trail too. I used to do the hot oil immersion, nitrogen dip, impact tables, shock & vibe, and so on......
Perfect matching is easy on the bench, but not so in a variable environment.
I used to custom wind my own metalized film capacitors for just this reason.

Thanks.
My nuc knowledge consisted of "familiarization" with the 155mm nuc round during Army active duty and a few stories (I'm old reporter) done at PANTEX Plant (Special Weapons Final Assembly Plant) in Texas.
Considering the number of weapons in inventory, always thought the crews at PANTEX stayed rather busy. Now I understand why.
Be well.

Thanx. Lebed link, like the man himself, is dead. Better one?

The problem is the performance at temperatures and under pressures over time. You realize of course that for these to be useful to the islamics they only have to work at elevations below 100 ft and at temperatures which can be easily maintained in a step van with a heater and an air conditioner.
They do not need mil spec bombs to take out major pieces of NY, Washington, DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Miami, Houston, Baltimore, etc. While we are at it, throw in London, Sydney, Rome, etc.

Given that the logical targets are the nesting areas of liberal loons -- ie, New York, LA, DC -- there may be a few we won't be hearing from. The best possible outcome of a bad situation. . .

It's the address for the Council on Foreign Relations. Is that close enough to take out the UN in the process? Hate to waste perfectly good fissionable nuclear material.

The replacement components are easy to track too. Resistors and capacitors manufactured to within plus or minus .0002% are not exactly easy to come by. So? Buy a bushel of 1% components and test them until you find some that are close enough to work in your gadget.

Cut the red wire
With that setup I'd cut both and then check the call logs on the phone! ;-)

To: Southack
I believe they have a limited shelf life & any surviving ones are duds by now, but 90 days is an underestimate of the trigger life.
OTOH, refurbishing one that you know is going to work is a lot easier than building a new one from scratch.
To: CurlyDave
You don't "refurbish" an atomic trigger. It's not a mechanical part. It's a radioactive element that decays rapidly. That decay, however, also means that it doesn't last very long before it becomes material that is non-useful to reactions.
You can replace triggers, but you don't "refurbish" them because there aren't any parts to fix. You simply need new material every 90 days or so.
