Should Iran stop its nuclear programme?

[pickles]

you still need to get the Uranium 234 into a certain state (235) for it to be useful for weapons and it's that instability that is extremely complex and too hard for your average joe terrorist.

Critical Mass is what you need before triggering the chain reaction and this state is very hard to produce unless you have the equipment and knowhow

you get the u235 as a by product of domestic nuclear fuel use. it's only unstable if it gets to near other bits of u235 ie it approches critical mass which is the point where an uncontolled rection starts

All the bomb does is violently combines the two bits of U235 each of which is less than a critical mass by firing one into the other. Hey presto loud bang

The only difficult bits getting the U235 in the first place

have a look at this

I've heard that suitcase nukes are an urban myth. There isn't enough fisionable material to create a critical mass.

Given that we are constantly being told that we are under threat from crazies, wanting to let off something nuclear related in one of our cities, then I guess if either fact was true we'd have seen one by now.
