Article Abstract:
Joe Cirincione, director of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace's non-proliferation programme in Washington, designed a blueprint that shows a cutaway view of a teardrop-shaped device with a flattened cylinder of uranium-235. The bombs that are easiest to build such as the design in Cirincione's office rely on uranium-235, a relatively rare isotope of the metal found in small quantities in ore deposits.
