-File: HOW TO MAKE AN ATOM BOMB
-
- CONSTRUCTION PROJECT:
-     ATOMIC BOMB
-
-  The following paper is taken from The Journal of Irreproducible Results, 
-  Volume 25/Number 4/1979-P.O.Box 234 Chicago Heights,Illinois 60411. 
-Subscriptions are 1 year for $3.70
-
-1.  INTRODUCTION
-
-     Worldwide controversy has been generated recently from several court 
-decisions in the United States which have restricted popular magazines from 
-printing articles which describe how to make an atomic bomb.  The reason 
-usually given by the courts is that national security would be compromised
-if such information were generally available.  But, since it is commonly known 
-that all of the information is publicly available in most major metropolitan 
-libraries, obviously the court's officially stated position is covering up a 
-more important factor;	namely, that such atomic devices would prove too 
-difficult for the average citizen to construct.  The United States courts 
-cannot afford to insult the vast majorities by insinuating that they do not 
-have  the intelligence of a cabbage, and thus the "official" press releases 
-claim national security as a blanket restriction.
-
-     The rumors that have unfortunately occurred as a result of widespread 
-misinformation can (and must) be cleared up now, for the construction project 
-this month is the construction of a thermonuclear device,  which will hopefully
-clear up any misconceptions you might have about such a project.  We will see 
-how easy it is to make a device of your very own in ten easy steps, to have and
-hold as you see fit,  without annoying interference from the government or the 
-courts.
-
-     The project will cost between $5,000 and $30,000 dollars, depending on how
-fancyyou want the final product to be.	Since last week's column,  "Let's Make 
-a TimeMachine", was received so well in the new step-by-step format, this 
-month's column will follow the same format.
-
-2.  CONSTRUCTION METHOD
-
-1.  First, obtain about 50 pounds (110 kg) of weapons grade Plutonium at your 
-local supplier (see NOTE 1).  A nuclear power plant is not recommended, as 
-large quantities of missing Plutonium tends to make plant engineers unhappy.  
-We suggest that you contact your local terrorist organization, or perhaps the
-Junior Achievement in your neighborhood.
-
-2.   Please remember that Plutonium, especially pure, refined Plutonium, is 
-somewhat dangarous.  Wash your hands with soap and warm water after handling 
-the material,  and don't allow your children or pets to play in it or eat it. 
-Any left over Plutonium dust is excellent as an insect repellant.  You may wish
-to keep the substance in a lead box if you can find one in your local junk 
-yard, but an old coffee can will do nIcely.
-
-3.  Fashion together a metal enclosure to house the device.  Most common 
-varieties of sheet metal can be bent to disguise this enclosure as, for 
-example, a briefcase, alunch pail, or a Buick.	Do not use tinfoil.
-
-4.   Arrange the Plutonium into two hemispheral shapes, separated by about 4 
-cm.  Use rubber cement to hold thePlutonium dust together. Gelignite is much 
-better,but messier to work with.  Your helpful hardware man will be happy to 
-provide you withthis item.
-
-6.  Pack the TNT around the hemisphere arrangement constructed in  step  4.  If
-you cannot find Gelignite, feel free to use TNT packed in with Playdo or any 
-modeling clay.	Colored clay is acceptable, but there is no need to get fancy
-at this point.
-
-7.   Enclose the structure from step 6 into the enclosure made in step 3.  Use 
-a strong glue such as "Crazy Glue" to bind the hemisphere arrangement against 
-the enclosure to prevent accidental detonation which might result from 
-vibration or mishandling.
-
-8.   To detonate the device, obtain a radio controlled (RC) servo mechanism, as
-found in RC model airplanes and cars.  With a minimum of effort,  a remote 
-plunger can be made that will strike a detonator cap to effect a small 
-explosion.  These detonator caps can be found in the electrical supply section 
-of your local supermarket.  We recommend the "Blast-O-Mactic" brand because 
-they are no deposit-no return.
-
-9.   Now hide the completed device from the neighbors and children.  The garage
-is not recommended because of high humidity and the extreme range of 
-temperatures experienced there.  Nuclear devices have been known to 
-spontaneousLy detonate in these unstable conditions.  The hall closet or under 
-the kitchen sink will be perfectly suitable.
-
-10.   Now you are the proud owner of a working thermonuclear device!  It is a
-great ice-breaker at parties, and in a pinch, can be used for national defense.
-
-3.  THEORY OF OPERATION
-
-     The device basically works when the detonated TNT compresses the Plutonium
-into a critical mass.  The critical mass then produces a nuclear chain reaction
-similar to the domino chain reaction (discussed in this column, "Dominos on the
-March" March, 1968).  The chain reaction then promptly produces a big 
-thermonuclear  reaction. And there you have it, a 10 megaton explosion!
-
-4.  NEXT MONTH'S COLUMN
-
-     In next month's column, we will learn how to clone your neighbor's wife in
- six easy steps.  This project promises to be an exciting weekend full of fun 
-and profit. Common kitchen utensils will be all you need.  See you next month!
-
-5.  NOTES
-
-1.  Plutonium (PU), atomic number 94, is a radioactive metaLlic element formed 
-bythe decay of Neptunium and is similar in chemical structure to Uranium, 
-Saturium, Jupiternium, and Marsium.
