Dunno. Pretty sure that's one of those areas where the classified part of this comes into play. I do know that the critical mass of whatever is somehow proportional to density...so one would assume that the denser the isotope they use at the highest purity would require a smaller sphere of fissile stuff. So the weight is probably coming from the conventional explosives et al. If they could get it down to 50 pounds in the 1960's, can't imagine why they couldn't take it down even further by now.

It was already a backpack nuke. A suitcase nuke doesn't seem like a stretch after half a century.

I'm more amazed with the craziness than I am with the evil.

Yeah, don't talk to those people! Nuke them. Pre-emptively.

Gee THAT wouldn't unite every Muslim in the world in anti-U.S. hatred and provide the moral cover for setting off a nuke in NYC...

And this guy is a member of the House Armed Services Committee. This is just the kind of talk the hard-liners in Iran and the ME want to hear..How to play into their hands.. What a f'ing moron.

My God, the current GOP is off the rails loony.
