BUILD AN ATOMIC BOMB BY THE WIZARD
 
YOU SAY YOU WANT DEATH? YOU SAY YOU
WANT DESTRUCTION? WELL, HERE IS THE
*ULTIMATE* IN DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
 
THE FOLLOWING PLANS REQUIRE THE
HANDLING OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS, AND
I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY HARM
DONE TO ANY PEOPLE OR CITIES AS A
RESULT OF THE USE OF THIS INFORMATION!
 
BEFORE WE GO INTO THE DETAILS OF
BUILDING AN ATOMIC BOMB, LET'S EXPLORE
THE HISTORY OF THE A-BOMB.
 
THE TIME: WORLD WAR II
THE PLACE: LOS ALAMOS
 
AMERICA'S TOP SCIENTISTS HAD BEEN
WORKING FOR MONTHS ON A NEW KIND OF
BOMB. ONE OF THESE NEW BOMBS COULD
BLOW UP A WHOLE CITY! HITLER AND THE
NAZI'S WERE ALSO WORKING ON THE A-BOMB,
BUT WE GOT IT FIRST!
 
ONE MORNING, THE SKY OVER THE
ALAMOGORDO DESERT WAS LIT UP BY A
TERRIFIC EXPLOSION! THE NUCLEAR AGE
WAS BORN!
 
THE TIME: SUMMER, 1945
THE PLACE: JAPAN
 
THE ALLIES WERE WINNING THE BATTLE FOR
THE PACIFIC, BUT THE INVASION OF JAPAN
WOULD BE A LONG AND BLOODY AFFAIR!
 
PRESIDENT HARRY TRUMAN DECIDED TO DROP
TWO ATOMIC BOMBS ON JAPAN, ONE ON
HIROSHIMA, AND ONE ON NAGASAKI.
 
NEEDLESS TO SAY THE JAPANESE
SURRENDERED SOON AFTERWARD.
 
NOW, ON WITH THE BOMB!
 
THE ATOMIC BOMB WE WILL BE CONSTRUCTING
WILL HAVE A YIELD OF APPROXIMATELY 2
KILOTONS. THAT'S ENOUGH TO WIPE OUT A
GOOD SECTION OF A CITY!
 
MATERIALS:
 
20 KG WEAPONS GRADE PLUTONIUM
TNT OR C4
WIRE
BLASTING CAPS (20-30)
A TIMING DEVICE OR
RADIO CONTROLLED DETONATOR
AND SOME SORT OF CONTAINER
TO HOLD ALL THE STUFF!
(CONFIGURATION MAY VARY)
 
CONSTRUCTION:
 
NOTE: SINCE YOU WILL BE WORKING WITH
PLUTONIUM, I SUGGEST YOU WEAR ADEQUATE
PROTECTION FROM THE RADIOACTIVE
MATERIAL! ONE MICROSCOPIC BIT OF THAT
PLUTONIUM WILL CAUSE A PAINFUL,
AGONIZING DEATH!
 
STEP 1:
TAKE THE BALL OF PLUTONIUM AND PLACE IT
ON A SUPPORT SO YOU CAN GET AT IT FROM
ALL SIDES. NEXT, TAKE GOLF-BALL SIZED
CHUNKS OF THE TNT OR C4 AND PRESS THEM
ON TO THE BALL OF PLUTONUIM IN AN EVEN
PATTERN ALL AROUND. PLACE A BLASTING
CAP IN EACH CHARGE.
 
STEP 2:
RUN THE WIRES FROM THE CHARGES TO THE
DETONATOR, MAKING SURE THAT THE CHARGES
STAY IN PLACE ON THE PLUTONIUM.
 
THE DETONATOR CAN BE MADE FROM AN
ORDINARY CLOCK AND A CAR BATTERY. SET
THE DETONATOR UP SO THAT WHEN THE CLOCK
READS A CERTAIN TIME...KA-BOOOOOM!
 
IF YOU ARE USING A RADIO CONTROLLED
DETONATOR, MAKE SURE YOU USE A QUIET
RADIO FREQUENCY, OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT
HAVE THE BOMB GOING OFF IN YOUR LAP!
 
STEP 3:
TAKE THE BOMB TO WHERE YOU WANT TO SET
IT OFF, AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!
YOU WANT TO BE AT LEAST 5 MILES AWAY
WHEN IT GOES OFF!
 
HOW IT WORKS:
THE EXPLOSION OF THE TNT/C4 CHARGES
CAUSES THE PLUTONIUM TO IMPLODE
(SQUEEZE TOGETHER), AND THUS ACHIEVE
CRITICAL MASS, AND EXPLODE WITH AN
UNCONTROLLED CHAIN REACTION!
