But the idea that a suitcase nuke can be 150kt is a little farfetched, but a 20-40kt nuke would be very impressive. The biggest contraint is the limitations imposed on the implosion system, and the possibility of the use of any tamper or reflection (besides beryllium) is excluded.

Bull.


I'd put Russia on the top of that list, as it is the only country that we know has produced them in the past, but the N5 all have the technical capacity to make them.
Hey Rocket Scientist, before you go adding your 'expert' interpretation please keep in mind that the original post on this thread was written by a real live US nuclear weapons targeteer for the US DoD/DoE who knows full well what a 'suitcase nuke' is capable of. WTF do you think i asked him for?

Repeat after me: Stuart Slade is a widely acknowledged expert in the field of nuclear weapons, i, Aryan, am not.

Jeez.
