  1. Peter is incorrect about the need to develop implosion technology. If you can enrich U-235, you can build a gun-assembled weapon. A gun-assembled weapon is just a tube with a chunk of U-235 at each end, and a propellent charge to drive one piece into the other. The Hiroshima bomb was a gun-assembled weapon. It was considered so fool-proof that Hiroshima WAS the test site. Peter's assertion that a potential nuclear power is vulnerable in the period between their first successful test and having a deliverable weapon is incorrect, because a gun-assembled weapon can be tested on an enemy. Other countries have built arsenals of gun-assembled weapons. South Africa's nuclear arsenal was all gun-assembled devices.
