@etchedpixels @cstross Is a bunch of enriched uranium combined with conventional explosives a "nuclear weapon"? I suspect radioactive uranium dust is pretty nasty, especially in large quantities.

@rpluim @etchedpixels @cstross You wouldn't even need a lot of conventional explosives, if you know how to re-enact assorted industrial disasters in the UK over the last fifty years and place a few innocent looking oil drums full of metal powder in strategic locations ahead of time. Imagine how much fun Flixborough would have been with bonus uranium dust.
