re: #15 SixDegrees

Unprocessed uranium isn’t particularly useful. And as noted several times in the thread downstairs, enriching it to the point where it is takes vast resources; it’s not something that can be done in someone’s basement.

The only danger I see to this is a disruption of supply to refinement facilities, which will eventually have an impact on electric production in several countries that depend on a steady supply to fuel their generators.

True, but never underestimate the ignorance of the general public, and the fear that someone claiming to have a dirty bomb (even if it’s no more dangerous than an X-ray at the dentist’s) could spread. Half of middle America would be in a total panic.
