"FellKnight"

All correct up to here. It only takees something like 2.8 Kg on P-239 to
reach critical mass, and 25 kg of U-235.

I did not look it up, but I thought it was the reverse. When the "tickling
the dragon" was going on, I was pretty sure it was 235 on the table ... you
could be right ...

Also, if I remember correctly, you can hold the 235 in your hands, but you
need to at least double zip lock the plutonium.
