Agreed.

One of the reasons I work on the "Onion Bomb" - a heating device designed to function with Natural Uranium, which is only 0.7% U235, 99.3 U238.

it is a Technology that Every Independent Arab Nation has access to.  If they have Granite, they have Natural Uranium.

The problem with U238 is that it doesn't facilitate the Exponential Increase in Radioactive Decay that is seen with devices that use Highly Enriched Uranium.

U238 absorbs neutrons before they can reach another U235 atom.

BUT when U235 is used to produce a Storm of Neutron Flux, U238 is very useful, since it can be used as a wrapper around the core to produce additional heat.

Of course the device in the picture is impossible to assemble, since it has no control rods.

I have to use a Cylindrical or Cubic geometry, to allow the moderator to be inserted between very thin sheets of Uranium foil, about 1 millisecond before it completes its heating cycle.

The little starburst icons represent the path of Neutrons being emitted during the process of induced U235 decay, induced by being hit by another neutron - going at the correct speed.

About 10,000 Trillion Trillion Trillion (10e40) Neutrons are generated during the typical Uranium heating event.  Part of the trick is learning to work with very big and very small numbers, and having the patience with Geometry to work out the details.

David Neal, a musician of the "pop-folk" genre where the names of Bob Dylan, John Prine, and John Cougar Mellencamp dominate, has created a terrific song memorializing the men who died or were injured during the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty. Unlike many of the songs by others in that genre, Mr. Neal's song memorializes an actual tragic event that still remains unknown to most American citizens.

The survivors' suffering was greatly exacerbated by the brutal orders issued by Lyndon B. Johnson for them to keep their lips sealed forever, and the promise of prison "or worse" if they talked to anyone about it: Not their parents, wives — and, implicitly — not even a psychologist could ever hear of this abominable "war crime."

Please listen to this 3 1/2 minute tribute to the men who survived, and the 34 who didn't, this 20th Century exemplar of combined Orwellian/Shakespearian tragedy:   https://lbjthemasterofdeceit.com/2022/06/09/repost-of-remember-the-liberty-song-by-david-neal-first-published-here/
