In a gun-type nuclear device, there is a bullet, a target, a barrel, a tungsten carbide neutron reflector, a Beryllium and Polonium-210 neutron initiator, cordex explosive, a steel cube, and an electric primer. When the explosion goes off upon impact, the steel cube pushed the bullet forward through the barrel, covering the target that fits inside the bullet. The neutron reflector is attached to the rear of the bullet, the neutron initiator goes through the Uranium rings in the target, with the neutron reflector covering it upon impact and slamming into it, setting it off. The neutron initiator acts as the primer and the neutron reflector acts as the firing pin, which will detonate the Uranium, setting it off.
My idea for the detonation, since these were made at a time before cell phones or the internet, and used a Yagi antenna as part of the signal hardware to receive the blasting transmissions would be to instead use an electric blasting cap connected to a mobile phone detonator, which is detonated when the number is called, so that a terrorist can load it into the cargo bay of a box truck, leave the area, and detonate it from a distance after the detonator picks up the signal.
However, the only problem would be getting your hands on U235. One could instead use David Hahn’s method and produce U233 from Thorium-232, but you would need a lot of it (up to 64 kg).

Gun-type bombs are basically a no-go since they can't be made with Plutonium produced in a reactor. There is going to be too much Pu-240 and that makes gun-types predetonate resulting in a very small yield. It's a dead end technology that's only pursued by the likes of Iran and North Korea because they were copying the Manhattan project to the best of their abilities step for step.

I think he wants to do is use the Thorium to breed U-233. It works in bombs, but the yield of bombs using it is typically lower than bombs using pure Pu-239 pits. Not an ideal bomb material, more of a backup.

Depleted uranium is about as radioactive and deadly as bananas you dipshit. The only thing dangerous about it is the heavy metal poisoning you get if you eat it which is the same effect you get for eating tungsten, lead and tool steel used in every other battlefield projectile. We also never stopped using it because we don't have women or europeans like you who don't know what "depleted" means and thinks its like shooting people with graphite bricks from Chernobyl calling the shots.

That’s why I said to use U233 — a man-made isotope. And I know that there is the SILEX method of enriching Uranium, and I also know that implosion not only works better, but is safer for, say, Plutonium, than if you were to use Plutonium in a gun-type device (which theoretically could be done, but has never been tried because it would be risky in that it could detonate prematurely whereas Uranium is less sensitive), but the reason I’m using U233 and gun-type in my scenario is for 3 reasons:
1.) U233 is a lot simpler to make than U235 or P239 (from U238).
2.) the gun-type is a much simpler and easier to understand model than the implosion.
3.) U233 is fissile and could be used instead of P239 in a breeder reactor.
So, keeping all that in mind, it’sentirely possible, it’s just that most terrorists lack the resources because they live in shitty third workd desert countries, lack education and have sub-90 IQs. So that’s probably the reason why if a lone-wolf terrorist ever were to build one of these, it would be a white guy, 9 times out of 10.

DU is still radioactive, dipshits. It's far less radioactive than the unstable isotope, but there's a reason France is able to reuse it in nuclear reactors and why the only safe method of storage is to make Uranium Hexaflourine and store it in vats underground for years. DU is great for electronics and such since you can put a very thin shield on it and be good to go, but it's not so great when used in munitions where you can inhale the smoke or get fragments of it stuck inside your soft tissue.

And before you try to attack my character, I've been a fan of the use of Depleted Uranium in all sorts of applications. Nuclear is the way of the future and is the most environmentally friendly and "reusable" options available to humanity. Uses involving ingestion or fire/inhalation are not one of those though.

DU has a half-life of 4.4 billion years. It's technically radioactive, but not really. The radioactivity is so low that it literally takes a larger dose to kill through radiation than through chemical toxicity. In both cases the material has to be ingested or inhaled since U-238 is a weak alpha emitter and alpha is the easiest radiation to block.
A solid lump of U-238 in open air poses no risk to anyone unless you start licking it, same as lead.

Not exactly. There’s a steel can with a plug protruding out the rear that the 6-ringed Uranium bullet goes around and then the neutron reflector goes in at the back. As for detonation, the radio determines where/when the bomb is going to detonate in relation to the distance the bomb is from the ground. The Solenoid Switch timer was only a back-up in case the radio didn’t work. It used two AN/APS-13 radar units (which operate at 410 - 420 MHz with a receiver IF of 30 MHz) for the detonation when they’ve identified the critical altitude. These were used to prevent premature detonation. Some sources even say as many as four radar units were used. Some information is still classified as of this very day, and it’s likely that this wasn’t an off-the-shelf AN/APS-13. That device wasn’t used to measure distance but rather whether there was any planes coming from behind. It's effective range was given as 2,000 to 2,500 feet transmitting and receiving a fan-shaped beam behind the airplane. It used a proximity fuze for detonation. The Yagi antenna was to collect signals from the radio units in the plane that was used to detonate it and used the time lag each signal returned as a way of measuring the height from the ground. It was dropped at 31,000 feet from the ground and detonated 1,900 feet above the ground (the target height for the fuse triggers was 2,000 ft).
Some people might ask if a gun-type could be used in a cruise missile/torpedo/ICBM and the answer to that would be quite simply no due to a number of reasons.

Oralloy is so powerful that you don't even need a device. you can divide up a critical mass of it and drop one piece of it on the other from a 3rd story window and you've got about a 50% chance of a full yield.
Of course you'll never be able to acquire or make that much HEU with out either someone finding out of spending several hundred man years in the process.

Yes but it also turns into powder easily, this happens any time dU armor is hit or a dU projectile hits anything. Particles which when inhaled and landed on the inner surface of your lung, leaves no barrier between alpha/beta radiation and lung tissue. Thats where all the cancer is coming from, inhalation of particulates.
Nobody is suggesting that you get a brain tumor just from standing next to a barrel of the stuff.

I sometimes ponder how can normalcattle not question how comes that there's always "poor oppressed muslim natives" in neighbours of islamic countries while there's never oppressed non-muslim native minorities in said islamic countries. It's like the whole world is islamophobic for some reason and constantly trying to conquer and subdue islamic fatherlands all around the world.
