Sadly, Canada has it's share of the blame for the spread of nuclear weapons. We CANDU-ed where we probably should have stayed well away. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

Too many people simply regard them as 'nukes' and leave it at that. They come in many sizes and with different staging methods to create fusion if a hydrogen device. A shot-plug device like Little Boy is actually easy to build once one has the U-235. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI7xVhXmf8E Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
