The cool part about making a homemade nuke is that if you fail to actually get a nuclear detonation you instead effectively made a dirty bomb. So really it's a win-win. Also you don't need weapons-grade plutonium and can make bombs with reactor-grade. Also, it would probably be easier to fight your way into a storage facility that contained the materials already and just build your nuke there then immediately detonate.

I think you slightly underestimate the amount of work it is to assemble a nuke. Did you mean dirty bomb, because that is entirely feasible. Strap a ton of hi-ex to storage containers and let it rip.

Lies the government wants you to believe.

It doesn't have to be perfect to achieve an inefficient nuclear detonation with a bit of know-how. You also get the splash effect of a dirty bomb too.

But even a simple gun type design needs to contain the critical mass for a split second after the projectile hits the subcritical mass. Fuck that up and you just blast a load of quite containable radioactive splinters around a smallish area.
Nuclear storage sites also tend to neglect to leave uranium and plutonium ingots lying around in forms readily adabtable for impromptu warhead assembly.
It'd be more practical to just pile the material together until it reached critical mass and you achieved meltdown.

Fuel rods come in standard sizes.

  1. Cut it down to size.
  2. Assemble your premade gun mechanism
  3. Setup your own reflectors
  4. Wait for subcritical mass
  5. fire gun mechanism
  6. crack open a neutron generator at juuuuuust the right time
  7. ???
  8. Profit!

Just the sort of thing you can rush through after breaking and entering a high secure storage area.
