-Official Ratheian Government Response-

Ratheia has no sources on nuclear information and would like to know how much plutonium and/or uranium is required per single kiloton explosion. Are there any specific equations?

We know that 10 pounds of Uranium were used for the 20-23ish Kiloton Hiroshima explosion. Can anyone help us out?

We seek to make small tactical nuclear weapons for use in emergency.

Ratheia,
Slaytanicca is currently pursuing a joint WMD project with an as-yet
unnamable ally. As such we feel unable to share information with you
without first confiring with our ally. However we personally would be
more than happy to develop weapons with your nation if you desire.

OOC:

Convenient Energy Content Approximations
Fission of U-233: 17.8 kt/kg
Fission of U-235: 17.6 kt/kg
Fission of Pu-239: 17.3 kt/kg
Fusion of pure deuterium: 82.2 kt/kg
Fusion of tritium and deuterium (50/50): 80.4 kt/kg
Fusion of lithium-6 deuteride: 64.0 kt/kg
Fusion of lithium-7 deuteride
Total conversion of matter to energy: 21.47 Mt/kg
Fission of 1.11 g U-235: 1 megawatt-day (thermal)

Got this off <a>href="http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Nwfaq/Nfaq12.html">nuclearweaponarchive.org</a>.. although I don't think real nukes are this efficient! From what I've seen it varies wildly depending on the warhead.

(OOC I would suggest not nuking anybody intill you atleast 2 months old. It's just an ignore type thing. The A-omb is Good

IC to Ratheia:
We're not too sure if Fascist Confederacy is really a Fascist Confederacy, but we are afraid you will take their deal. So we offer you a better one.

At the end of each year we will offer you (NS) our new designs for a tactical nuclear missile. (If there is one.)

We also offer you 3 tons of nuclear materials.

For a telegram every time you want to stage a large war.

And 1 ton of fried cheesie sticks! How about 400 pounds at a time delivered to Remshak?

And 500 hours of hardcore porno!

And please help us when we get attacked

(The top is for every year of our help.)

If you attack our allies we will discontinue the deal.

If you attack us we will discontinue the deal.

If you don't send us porno we will discontinue the deal.

We believe these are fair for such a contract.
