Those little old ladies at the exit doors have got to be taught how to tackle those thieves instead of...”thanks for shopping Wal-Mart.”
I think that may be doable:

(what make is it?)
Radiation, Wal-Mart, domestic terrorism(can’t profile, heavens no!!!) and a bit of the good old “WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!”.
An enviro-mentally ill activist wet dream.
Glow in the dark belt buckles can be bought here
That is the point. It's a mystery.
(heh)
Ping.
“The Hydrogen Bomb: The Basics
A fission bomb, called the primary, produces a flood of radiation including a large number of neutrons. This radiation impinges on the thermonuclear portion of the bomb, known as the secondary. The secondary consists largely of lithium deuteride. The neutrons react with the lithium in this chemical compound, producing tritium and helium.
This reaction produces the tritium on the spot, so there is no need to include tritium in the bomb itself. In the extreme heat which exists in the bomb, the tritium fuses with the deuterium in the lithium deuteride.”
So,,,if you had a suitcase nuke, and wanted to jazz it up a bit? 70,000 to Iran? Hydrogen bomb?

lol...Now I will be looking around the local stores to see if the signs are missing.
I dunno, but at Walmart it looks like they're on their way out.
There was a kid in the USA who built a nuclear reactor in the garden shed behind his parents’ house by recovering the materials from a bunch of smoke detectors. He’s in the USN now.
Which is exactly what the Toronto Star is doing. That rag specializes in fearmongering.
I’ll admit I’m not current on weapons design. That would explain why I heard some years back that we had stopped making Tritium, and the stockpiles were depleting.
Is it possible that this would be a worthwhile source of Tritium for an up-and-coming nuclear power if they’re a generation or two behind ?
Edward Teller found the extra nuetrons in Tritium pretty useful.
Come to think of it, wasn’t the reason people poo-poo’d the Missing Soviet Suitcase Nukes because their Tritium triggers would have decayed by now ?
Haha, so he did, but my point still stands.
Well .. since you’re such a fan of Carl Sagan .. I guess I should have expected such a stupid answer.
Me too. The signs are kind of neat. I wonder if it’s just people stealing them for a souvenir.
Whatever
