[QUOTE="JRSherman, post: 1485179, member: 13432"] Yes, but it would still require being processed down to a singularly packaged group of the proper material in the proper configuration, with a high explosive detonating device to set it off. Admittedly, I know 95% less about the construction of a nuclear detonation device than I do about nuclear power programs, but the basic requirements are still taught to deter the Nuclear Boy Scouts([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_boy_scout"]Nuclear boy scout[/URL]) from becoming world villains in their own backyard. Interestingly enough, I semi-remember being told that there weren't any breeder reactors operating in nuke school, which they apparently didn't say was just in the United States. Japan, Russia, China, and India have operational breeder reactors, and a few other countries are still working on them it seems, with India doing the most work/research. Interesting reading here, flawed or not: [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor"]wiki/Breeder reactor[/URL] [/QUOTE]
