Uranium theft in India

[Secret Service]

This thread is about some guys who stole some uranium ORE (not ENRICHED URANIUM) in 2008. By now those guys must have got some cancer or the other from radiation exposure. . That is, if they are alive.
And Al-Qaida has all the technology and centrifuge machinery (gifted by someone of course) to turn that into "Bomb-Grade" uranium hex.?!?

how Al qaida has machinery and centrifuges...??? when many countries in the world dont have....baseless comment

even unprocessed uranium can be used as a bomb and what about radiations.....??

Nope! You can't make salted bomb with unprocessed uranium

kitchen made bombs....

kitchen made bombs ,made with unprocessed Uranium ?

I'm hearing that for the first time

kitchen made bombs....

how can one make a nuke with UNPROCESSED Uranium ORE,that too in a small packet,which weighs around 100 or 200gms????

no it is Not made from uranium ...i am saying, what if uranium is used in this bomb..it will be like mini nuke...!

You can make a dirty bomb with unprocessed uranium. Just a normal bomb but spreads radioactive waste everywhere and a mess to clean up. If the uranium can be made into powder form for carrying by wind it would be very messy.

Was'nt there a thread on this forum about "Raymond Davis" handing out some nukes? Maybe (according to secretservice), this is what he was handing out.

You mean that raw unprocessed URANIUM ORE can be used in this to make a bomb?
I first thought that you meant that Uranium Ore can be "cooked" in that to make "Bomb-Grade" Uranium Hex.

I thought Uranium as ore was stable and not radioactive.

 

[tallboy123]

Shouldn't the Uranium ore be processed and enriched to atleast 30% to create a major mess???

Dr A Q Khan was in the business of supplying centrifuges to rouge states, so unless he has supplied it to Al Qaida ..there is no way , they can build it on there own..as it takes decades for a country to develop processing technology.

As far as ditry bomb is concerned (which people are referring to as " Desi Bomb") it also requires certain level of enrichment.
