To make nukes the key part is not the power plant, but the enriching of uranium. To the best of my knowledge Ukraine has no enrichment plants.
Whats used to power a nuclear reactor dummy.
Uranium for power plants normally has a 3-5% U235 contet, whereas weapons grade uranium has to be at least 20% U235 to build a somewhat realisitc nuke, but that would way a few hundred kg. So you usually go for above 80%.
Any dumb person knows that and the Ukranians are not that dumb.
The bomb doesnt need to be good all it needs to do is start ww3
It wouldn't be a bomb at those levels. That's the point they're trying to make. It would be more like a traditional bomb that would do nothing but destroy 1 tank and irradiate the area.
