Here is part of an FAQ recently mailed to me by the International
Association of Nanotechnology <[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
3. Is it possible to make nano nuclear bomb, using nanotechnology which
could release massive lethal nuclear radiation ? Yes.
A nano tech nuclear bomb? As I understand it, a critical mass is
required to make the bomb explode. Does anyone have an explanation of
how something like this would work?
You already know how something like this would work, or at least you
should by now. According to the Foresight Institute, cavitation bubble
collapse is a nanotechnology. It is used constructively to process
materials into nano-powders mostly (see Ken Susslick's work for
examples), but if used on any radioactive material, it would release
massive lethal nuclear radiation. The British Navy found this out while
cleaning the hulls of ships that had trace quantities of radioactive
material around the torpedo tubes while using a phased-array, transducer
based, multi-bubble cavitator to blast away barnacles - hence the NATO
conference. I found this out in my kitchen in Seattle while testing my
machine. It does not even require that the radioactive material be
refined, enriched, or in any other way pre-processed. It just works.
