True, but it can be done. The technology is known and avaialble in a
college library or book store. Almost any competent mechanical engineer
could design a gun type weapon.
Fissionable materials are not that difficult to to come by for a nation
state in the current world climate. If you don't get the core of an
existing, "lost" warhead from the former Soviet Union, then it could be
acquired from natural sources.
U-238 is reasonably common. I personally had a mineral collection that
had about 4 KG of U238 by weight. It also had about 2 KG of Radium (not
sure of the isotope) and other "rare earths" in it. Collecting UO4 isn't
that big of a problem if your nation had gold or copper deposits. Then a
breeder reactor can be used to increase fisile materials. Hell, there is
a natural, fossil breeder reactor in Africa, in Gabon at OKLO. The
biggest problem in the enrichment. But it can be done.
My ONLY point was that the controversy over the documents on the internet
is BS, as everything needed for a simple weapon can be found in a college
library. All the documents offered were solutions to technical problems
that engineers in Pakistan are offering for sale.
