Del's finally a millionaire! - Only Fools and Horses: Christmas Special ...

welcome back to war! " Here we go – Pure Fusion Neutron Bomb – 3 x normal ratio of Li7/Li6 mix, no fission products needed, tritium not necessary but only need be added for more power, and a palladium trigger – acts as a catalyst for electron transfer (Relatively weak chemical bond Ex: warmth of curing concrete) to start neutron out of the nucleus releasing nuclear energy and the neutron, ie, Li mix injected into palladium or vice versa – although it seems like Beryllium – used in inner bomb as deflectors would also work. Li 7 +e →He 7 →He 6 →Li 6 … Lithium 7 with the addition of an electron (a simple chemical bond will easily produce) the expulsion of a neutron and yield more Li 6. Shhh! It’s a secret"

ABSTRACT

Yield curves have been obtained for eight of the more important reactions of ${\mathrm{Li}}^6$ and ${\mathrm{Li}}^7$ produced by proton and deuteron bombardment in the energy range from 200 to 1000 kev. Each curve was obtained with an accuracy of about five percent, and a set of intercomparisons served to determine the relative yields between the different reactions within 20 percent. A special set of observations on a single reaction then gave the absolute yield for all the reactions within a factor of about three. An investigation was made of the reactions involved in the formation and decay of ${\mathrm{Li}}^8$, the mass of which was found to be 8.02499±0.00020. The range-distribution of the delayed alpha-particles from ${\mathrm{Li}}^8$ was measured and the interpretation of this distribution is discussed. Observations on the reaction ${\mathrm{Li}}^6+n\to {\mathrm{He}}^4+H^3$gave a value of 4.97 Mev for the reaction energy as compared to a value of 4.56 Mev derived from the masses involved. No evidence could be obtained for the production of ${\mathrm{Li}}^8$ by the process ${\mathrm{Li}}^7+n\to {\mathrm{Li}}^8$. Measurements of the energies of the neutrons produced by deuteron bombardment of ${\mathrm{Li}}^6$ indicated that ${\mathrm{Be}}^7$ is formed by the reaction ${\mathrm{Li}}^6+D^2\to {\mathrm{Be}}^7+n$. Further experiments showed that ${\mathrm{Be}}^7$ is radioactive and is converted to ${\mathrm{Li}}^7$ by $K$-electron capture. It was found that this process is followed by gamma-ray emission in roughly ten percent of the transitions.

and again...what is "red mercury" ? "A 15–40% (usually about 30%) solution of tributyl phosphate in kerosene or dodecane is used in the liquid–liquid extraction (solvent extraction) of uranium, plutonium, and thorium from spent uranium nuclear fuel rods dissolved in nitric acid, as part of a nuclear reprocessing process known as PUREX. The shipment of 20 tons of tributyl phosphate to North Korea from China in 2002, coinciding with the resumption of activity at Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center, was seen by the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency as cause for concern; that amount was considered sufficient to extract enough material for perhaps three to five potential nuclear weapon"

Let me unmask what "yellowcake " is : "Peroxide products can be dried at ambient temperatures to produce a product containing about 80% U3O8. Ammonium or sodium diuranate products are dried at high temperatures to convert the product to uranium oxide concentrate – U3O8 – about 85% uranium by mass. This is sometimes referred to as yellowcake, though it is usually khaki."
