Improvised Nuclear Weapons with 60%-Enriched Uranium

physics.soc-ph · 2025-07-27 · conditional · novelty 5.0

Using a simplified FissionBomb model with adjusted cross sections, the paper finds that a 40 kg core of 60%-enriched uranium in a roughly 20 tonne tamper could yield about 1 to 1.4 kilotons.
