The lack of knowledge on nuclear physics in this area astounds me.
NUCLEAR REACTORS AND BOMBS ARE ON THE EXACT OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE SPECTRUM.
Reactors strive to be just barely critical for a long time, bombs try to become as intensely critical as quickly as possible.
Reactors don't explode, steam filled pipes explode and sling radioactive material everywhere sometimes, a reactor by design is unable to go supercritical and the amount of safety systems is mind boggling, so far as to have core dumping that lets the whige hot material expand into a sub critical state and cool off.
