I hope He’ll decide to protect the USA soon.
But then again, we may not be worth protecting in His opinion when we are trying, ever which way, to offend Him.
Nope. You can use lower enrichment with no problem, as long as you use the right component design (gun-type or implosion) and mass of enriched uranium.
The Hiroshima "gun-type" bomb used 64 kg of uranium. 50 kg were enriched to 88%, and 14 kg were enriched to 50%. The average enrichment was just under 80%.
The critical mass for 85% enriched uranium is approximately 50 kilograms / 110 lbs. This is a sphere about 6-3/4" in diameter.
The Hiroshima bomb, as a gun-design, was not even tested prior to dropping. The design concept was deemed so reliable it was considered guaranteed to work.
Approximately 21 to 30 ounces (est.) of the core mass actually converted into energy in the explosion. The explosive force was equivalent to 32,000,000 lbs of TNT - (16 kt = 32 million pounds).
Nuclear fracking?
The origin of the story was Reza Kahlili
reporting on Thursday John Bachelor show.He mentioned that Stuxnet was involved.
God protects those who protect themselves.
I believe any party involved already KNOWS how this happened and the speculation on a right wing forum would have the impact of a spitball on the frontal armor of an Abrams tank. I don’t ascribe even that impact to any post I make here.
hmmmmm....let me guess:
1. The Ox cart delivering the falafels had a little extra sauce in it. Iranian syrup has a certain “kick” to it.
2. Al-Qaeda suicide bombers got their addresses mixed up.
3. Yoko Ono blames it on fracking.
4. Iron Man and Thor were in the neighborhood...what the heck, test out the new weapon systems....Thor has a wicked backhand.
5. Achmed the dead terrorist cut the wrong wire....again!!! Dang it!!! Silence....I KILL YOU!!!!
6. Reports of a middle aged man stroking a white cat have not been confirmed.
“Do the Israelis know because the explosion is the work of Mossad?”
“If that is what you think, maybe you shouldn’t broadcast it.”

“In related news, Luxembourg, the Principality of Monaco, Barbados and the Republic of Kiribati have all been ruled out as suspects.”
Need I say it? /sarc
Israelic
well, you are probably right, so sorry
One thing is for sure. Henry is a one world er at heart.
God works in mysterious ways, but for the rest of us, we us C4
The "site" may be "immune" to airstrikes and bunker-busters, but the entrances and ventilation systems sure aren't.

He a lot more than a reporter.
He IS a lot more than a reporter.

Stupid Qom Propane Delivery man not only got the ADDRESS wrong, he also connected the hose from the tanker truck to the incorrect pipe!
Bummer when that happens!
