This was an interesting post I found when I was on tumblr a few days ago. It shows how advanced our technology has become from simple handguns and rifles to using chemicals and even parts of atoms to create something more dangerous.
Supposedly, as stated from the Internation Atomic Energy (IAEA), Iran may most likely be joining the ranks of the world’s nuclear weapons club. United States, Great Britain, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea already belong to this club.

In the post, it states how to create a nuclear bomb.
1. Get the fuel
- centrifuge uranium-235 and uranium-238 since less than 1% is found in nature (need 90% of -235)
- enrich made uranium -235 by nuclear reactor since the energy when the isotopes split is what is needed for the bomb (need chain reaction of this energy)
- Iran currently has 20% done (of uranium -235)

2. Engineer a method of detonation
- need to mash 2 similar pieces of uranium together to form the nuclear reaction
- most weapons today are detonated by explosives and blasts from these weapons is focused on the uranium to start a shock wave and then it produces a secondary atomic blast
3. Find a way to deliver the bomb
- holding uranium is difficult and lengthy (North Korean failed detonation in 2006)
