But with what I know, I still think that a 120kt suitcase device is impossible, even wiht a boosted fission. 40kt would be the upper limits in my mind with boosted fission. For instance, most fission devices utilise a uranium tamper to increase yield; but such a tamper would make a suitcase bomb immobile.

How does this guy suggest a 120kt to be possible? Surely, not by boosted fission alone...
One suggestion would be to follow the thread. Tell him you are a friend of mine, and then ask.

However i would point out that knowing this man, if he says something can be done wrt nuclear weapons, it can be done.

Talking to him about nukes is about the same as talking to me about sniper rifles. Hell, it's even better........he's still with the Gov't, and is still completley current on the moden stuff(unlike me).
