Where can you get one of those fission bombs? Asking for a friend.

OP I'm not 100% certain but I reckon Iran might know if Iran is building fission bombs.
What if even Iran doesn't know

Aww man. And it doesn't even know if it's a nuke because it doesn't have a nuclear weapons program! If it asks a professional it'll get in sooo much trouble with the principal America.

We're about thirty percent of the way to a blockbuster here.

We'd also know if they tested one PDQ with how sensitive seismic detectors are these days. See: the Norks

Didn't NK just blow up like a thousand tonnes of TNT and claim it was a nuclear blast?

Britain did the same trick back in the 50's when we made a giant fission bomb to try to convince people we had hydrogen bombs (the US were observing and were pretty unimpressed). This directly contributed to a nuclear reactor catching fire since the British nuclear program had to work overtime to replace all the plutonium that just got reduced to gamma rays, and decided the only way to do this was massively cut corners on safety.

Afaik no, they had one misfire shittily but then seem to have managed a true blast sometime.

You're talking about Windscale, an air-cooled reactor with no more design sophistication than a window-mounted air conditioner.
gently caress, that was a near miss. It could have been worse than Chernobyl, another iffy design.
A graphite fire in a huge uranium reactor, YUM.
Coulda laid waste to a significant part of England.
...
Build these reactors at the bottom the sea. gently caress the dolphins. Shave the whales.
Water is an excellent shield.
...
So the fish get radioactive? We'll use 'em for light bulbs, just like the chickens from Kiev.

Could the Norks be faking all this with vast shitloads of TNT? That's a lotta juice.
It would fit well with the general trend of great steaming crocks of crap from these guys.

Clearly he's talking about the Japanese in the second line which is a huge non-sequitur but yeah Japan is "building" fission bombs the same way Iran is.

if iran was, in fact, building fission bombs or had built fission bombs, or even had somebody else build them fission bombs on the sly to avoid those pesky weapon inspectors, then i am curious, op: what would you do with this information?

I mean it does kind of drive the point home that even if Iran had double secret probation centrifuges and sources of uranium that they could still only build a bomb to be delivered by plane right now and we're pretty good at shooting down planes (also there is, I am told, an ocean between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran though I freely admit I am no professional geographer).

If one were worried about Israel being nuked one might consider non-proliferation a much more important goal than minimizing Iranian hegemony but rabid Jew-hating anti-Semites like Netanyahu see it differently...
