I don’t play a lot of video games that involve that. But I did work on nuclear reactors in the Navy. To be fair that was a long time ago so I may not remember the specifics.
And to be clear I don’t condone the actions (I think it’s fucking abominable). They just don’t seem to be far fetched from my armchair.
Oh shit EOOW or xxN? And yeah you’re right modern nukes don’t actually leave a ton of radiation long term. People think nukes are dirty bombs not understanding the difference.
ETN. Then I went on to get a BS in Nuclear Science and Engineering, but to be fair ACE let me skip a whole lot of shit. So my knowledge is a couple of decades old, slightly obscured by years of alcohol abuse (that didn’t start but kicked into high gear at NTPU Ballston Spa), and not focused on bombs. As I recall there’s a way to make a nuclear weapon that leaves everything a nuclear wasteland rather than just a bombed out husk that involves carbon or cobalt or something. But the best I could do is try to remember formulae while someone is getting bombed to hell by it.
It really is wild running into another nuke on the fediverse lol. Also former ETN.
But yeah it’s literally just cobalt (or other similar radioactive element) in a conventional explosive. Really scary because it doesn’t actually require a ton of refinement so a dedicated terrorist cell could do it if they got their hands on required material. Why most governments track radioactive material so closely.
That means there are at least 3 of us. My best friend was also a nuke and is also out here with us. He doesn’t comment much but you’ve probably run into him. I don’t know what he’s shared about himself so I’m not giving away his username.
Maybe stop playing so many videogames.
