    I mean, it doesn’t weigh 100 kg. That’s a measurement of mass, not weight. We often discuss our weight using kilograms with the assumption that we’re talking about it at sea level, but the weight would be different at different altitudes. It may be pretty negligible though, I suppose.

    Since its critical mass is 52kg, a 100kg of uranium-235 would make a mushroom cloud the moment you put it all in one bag.

      I like where your head is at, but that’s not how criticality works.

      It’d definitely be deadly, but wouldn’t mushroom cloud.

        This. The Demon Core experiments did not cause full on explosions. Just massive lethal doses of radiation.
