 I could not get enough aluminum. The High School's forge is only accessible to sophomores and above. I am going to resort to cardboard and aluminum foil coverings. I will need about $50 and lots of cardboard. I would use actual plutonium and a nuclear core but I guess there are "laws" about making actual atomic bombs. Oh well.

The Fat Man impulsion-based Plutonium atomic bomb was a nuclear weapon used by the United States on the Japanese city of Nagasaki in 1945 to end World War 2. I am going to make a life sized aluminum(or aluminium) replica.
