The acute dose was low. He's the highest accumulated dose because he did live so long. It's not even known whether low doses of radiation are even that dangerous. There isn't enough data on long term low level exposure to say whether a linear dose-response relationship exists, or if it's more like a threshold. We have plenty of data on short, intense, exposures and how much of that it generally takes to kill you, but for those who survive they generally live to old age with no lingering ill effects. If you look at other cases of long term exposures like radium girls, the damage was generally from the direct toxicity of radium as a heavy metal, rather than as a radioactive substance. Uranium similarly will destroy your kidneys, not because it's radioactive, but just because it's a toxic metal.
Imagine being injected with plutonium, having a large portion of your organs removed, and dying at the age of 79 because of a HEART disease. I aspire to be like him.
nah, I just meant that I aspire to be a chad like him that can shrug off radiation poisoning and die of something completely unrelated at a reasonably old age.
Despite what the surgery led him to believe, this man was probably incredibly resistant to cancer. Not only did he never have cancer in the first place, he then proceeded to be subjected to massive doses of radiation, and subsequently failed to develop any tumors whatsoever!
fun fact: Pierre Currie (husband of Marie Currie) knew very well that radiation is extremly dangerous and can kill him, but he also had an ampule of (i believe) Rad that he would take to the parties to show off how it "glowed in the dark". Very smart man
Legit! Radium-girls (ie factory workers who painted luminous clock dials etc) used to go out to nightclubs with their teeth painted in hopes to get noticed in the low-lighting 😬🙈
The highest radiation dose by sieverts? mans never experienced the flesh burning power of 3.6 roentgen. For real there are so many ways to measure radiations that it gets confusing to translate it into lethality given conditions, exposure and type.
The banana equivalent dose (BED), the unit of Grays (J/kg, the unit for absorbed dose), Becquerels and Curies (SI and imperial units for disintegrations over time), etc etc. The presence of so many units which could EASILY be just expressed as what they are in terms of conventionally understood units would make the understanding of radiation safety so much more accessible. It’s ridiculous.

In 1945 it was very well known radiation was extremely harmful to human body but it was unknown how bad it could get. So those scientists knew they were risking their lives but simply changing the world was more important for them. Those surgeons who removed his organs knew he didn't have cancer as soon as they opened him up because cancer is so insanely different than normal tissue and no surgeon could confuse them unless they were freaking blind!!

Same goes for nuclear attacks because in reality Japan tried to conditionally surrender MONTHS before the bombs and there weren't many conditions neither rather the biggest disagreement was full immunity for their emperor. Allies refused it and demanded unconditional surrender from Japanese government. However this could mean their emperor who was seen as holy (Still seen by a lot of Japanese people) could be executed by allies so they refused it. Even after nuclear attacks and brutal murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent people Japan wasn't still surrendering. Until 6 days later when the emperor that allies didn't want to grant immunity intervened to the war first time and broadcasted a radio message, literally begging Japanese people to surrender. After their emperor begged them to surrender thousands of Japanese soldiers began surrendering in every front and only two days later Japanese government as well officially surrendered. The worst of all even if Japan surrendered unconditionally their emperor wasn't held responsible for a single action of Japan so allies could very well grant him immunity at first place then there was no need for nuclear attacks!! Unless US also needed to test this new weapon ofc, in fact both Nagasaki and Hiroshima kept outside of ordinary air raids of US air force so cities wouldn't be damaged and the affects of nuclear bombs could be seen more accurately!! This resulted as people from Tokyo etc which was bombed into ground taking refugee in Nagasaki and Hiroshima thinking those cities were SAFE!! The world is a lot more wicked place than even Qxir is potraying...
This actual "surprise radiation" happened to my dad's family. Coldwater creek backed up to their house. It flooded often, and my grandpa, a police officer at the time, unknowingly helped guide the direction of nuclear waste to be buried. He died of cancer in 2006 when I was 4.
The "not being told about it" really is the worst part. If I was diagnosed with a terminal illness and given a 6 month prognosis (even though this one was false), and told that I could undergo an experimental procedure that was unrelated to my illness, but they would give a tidy sum to my family for my efforts (like...mortgage fully paid off levels), I would do it. That is assuming it was all above board and there was escrow and contracts and stuff.
Reminds me of a story my Grandfather told me, when he was little his house was being reinstalled with Asbestos. He was 5 or 6 at the time and just played in a pile of the stuff for hours on end, thinking it was snow. And he has never had any trouble breathing or cancer of any kind. He is currently 74!
When I was a little kid, my parents were concerned about the wall behind our oil-burning stove getting too hot. So Dad went down to the lumber yard with me in tow and had a piece of asbestos sheet cut to size on a table saw while we watched from just a few feet away. He then nailed the asbestos sheet to the wall behind the stove. Dad passed away at 84, and I'm still going strong at 68.
@@Archimedes616 I also grew up in a house with a wood burning stove as our sole source of heat although I'm only 24.

My understanding with asbestos is that it’s long term exposure that’s dangerous. If you encounter it only a few times, even in really high quantities, it’s unlikely to harm you. It’s the long term exposure, like working with it professionally, that’s the real problem.
This case reminds me of Hisashi Ouchi, though he didn't get to the accumulated doze of 64 sieverts over a period of time, he did get a sudden exposure of 17 sieverts which is more then deadly.
@@pfadiva what also gets left out was that they didn't explain his family how much radiation he was exposed to and how beyond any help he was...fucked up however you put it
Stevens could also claim to be the first person treated for cancer with radiation. That treatment would become very widespread and is still used till today. Also scientists had a pretty good idea of what radiation did to people. The only thing they didn't know was the exact amounts needed to make people very sick or make them die.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. it was meant as a bit of a stretch. Unnecessary operations and being dosed with radiation is a pretty horrible way to be treated by doctors. Malpractice much?
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. I think that’s the point, they didn’t use radiation to “cure” his cancer, he was injected with radiation and then got surgical treatment for his “cancer” which was actually a benign growth, which means he was “treated” badly by the doctors because of their gross moral negligence.
Little do you know the Manhattan project continued up until the early 70s. Because my father was a victim of radiation poisoning because he was working at Amchitka Alaska where they blew up 3 nuks, called Long Shot, Cankin, and Milrow. He died at 57 of pancreatic cancer. I remember him telling my mother it will be alright, he'll be fine. I HATE our government for doing that to him and many others working at Amchitka.
This is pretty scary that people with power can just get away with this and government and military can just say sorry and move on if the people found out.
Hey Qxir, cool video again! just one quick thing, 3Sv over a year is just under 0.01 Sv per day (or 8mSv/day) or about half the yearly limit for flight attendants (20mSv/year). That is roughly 0.3mSv/hour . During a flight, the dose in the plane is about 10 times less, So he experienced the same radiation exposure 10 people would living at 30,000ft for 20 years, which is bad but not as extreme. The body can handle repeated smaller exposure better than one massive dose . You can experience the same (for a few hours) by swallowing 5 sources from a smoke detector which are pretty weak. But don`t do that
Unfortunately it actually is very possible to build an atomic bomb with nothing more than public knowledge. A guy named David dobson did it. He did in less than three years. It's actually amazing how few nukes exist when you think about it.
@@midnightrambler8866 Lucky for us. Imagine the idiots/terrorists that would use it. Just surround it in a high explosive shape charge to suddenly compress it under intense heat and pressure and chain reaction starts in milliseconds.
@@grantluper5168 was it? I thought I remembered him from the 2’ed. Um, if that’s the case, than thank you for clearing that up, but the man kind of looks like Harold, with less tree and skin issues.
If you're talking about the "Nth Country Experiment" then it's not quite "relatively average." The people in question had just received PhDs in Physics before starting the experiment, which is no small feat. Of course, that was also done in the 60s. We have over half a century and the invention of the Internet between then and now.
The one radiation story that I find most interesting was poor Hisashi Ouchi. Reason for this is mainly the biological reaction the body has to such a high dose of radiation and it ends up being a real scary horror story that's really sad. If it was not for a odd fascination on nuclear disasters I would not find it as interesting.
@@markusbernard5180this isn’t true, he at one point said “I’m not a guinea pig” but that was when they had to make him breath with machines and it hurt, but beyond that, he then let them continue when thinking about his son, wife, and family. He couldn’t speak for the majority of his treatment, so the last thing he on record said was an I love you to his wife while they talked about everything going on, he didn’t beg to die like people often push, it’s a false narrative that has absolutely no proof, he survived for his family, and because of his family
You'd think it wouldn't be too hard to find terminally ill people that would do the test voluntarily. Tell them its for science, give their families a bunch of money etc.
0:35 why does this man look like a really well rendered Scp-106 image. I am not intending any disrespect to him, I am just pointing out this eerie image
Qixr, you never fail to make everything informative and extremely entertaining. I cannot wait to bring this story up randomly and be asked, and I quote, why the actual f*ck I know that. I still use the line “Above the recommended daily intake of bullets” on the daily. Keep it up my guy!!
The cleverness and likeability of your outro leaves me no other choice - You have received An extremely rare Highly coveted +1 “site unseen” sub, Because That outro Is pure gold Thank you for making it, And this video
It could be even worse than it looks. They may have known all along that he didn't have cancer and just made it up to have a test subject. Their were few ethics in science and medicine at that time.
Lots of drawings in this one, love the effort man, I was dying at 3:20 "these guys were going wild with plutonium" *one dude just tossing pucks in the air while another is playing hockey with them* 😂
Crazy how most people worry so much about their health and safety that they get anxiety. But then you realize how strong the human body can be. This guy survived major surgery back then, working with lead-paint all day, then getting a fatal dose of radiation yet still lived until almost 80 years old.
I'd like to see a video on Kenny Brack, an indycar driver that was exposed to the highest G crash of any person who wasn't liquified on impact. Also Duncan Hamilton and his co driver who I forget the name of, they won the 24 hours of le mans on day 2 of a hardcore bender. Jaguar tracked them down to a bar the morning of the start of the race, and they had to drive. Seems like a perfect episode of Tales From the Bottle.
The Statement that this guy got the most radiation is a little bit too general:He probably got the most into contact with radioactive material but if we look at the more scientific radioactive energy the guy who got the most radiation was a Russian scientist who’s head got literally perforated by a high energy beam at a Hardrone-Collider.He also had to fight to get himself recognised for treatment.
They're not only hiding that fact, they're also hiding the health effects of bleach! I drink the stuff every single day, and the "doctors" still haven't figured out how my insides look like I'm 20 when I'm at the age of 80.
Highly unlikely conclusion. Lead paint would have no effect on internal irradiation unless he was eating copious amounts of it, a highly illogical thing to do with any paint, toxic or not.
I noticed that one of those patients on the list was Michael Tyson with dermatphagia (Greek for “ skin eating”). I hope he survived. He might go back for seconds.
“Out of the blue” is an apt description for being suddenly irradiated, because Cherenkov Radiation, which can be a sign of a nuclear reaction, glows blue.
I honestly can not count on two hands (because my hands fell off) the number of times I have been minding my own business, only to be hit by 900 RADs from the sky, out of my normally scheduled lethal doses of radiation.
I recall a story about a wealthy guy who wanted to own a plot of land an old, ill farmer worked. He made a deal with the old farmer whereby the old farmer would receive regular checks from him so that he wouldn't have to work that hard in return for giving the land to the wealthy man in his will. Years went by. The farm lived out a relaxing life, and recovered his health. The wealthy man lived the stressful life of a mover and shaker. The wealthy man died before the old farmer did. And the old farm went back to farming with the money saved from the regular checks from the wealthy man. Sometimes there no accounting for how long a man will live, and its best not to bet on it.
Qxir, I've been watching your videos for over a year now - love all of them. Keep up the great work and, speaking of radiation, I'd love for you to do a video on Chernobyl !
100 percent confident. I understand that "Son Of A Gun" completely. it would probably be nasty dirty though... Do not squib a reactive mass in a barrel and then fire an amount that would add up to critical into the squibed mass. You will vaporize your barrel.
On the subject of building a working nuclear bomb - You are correct that to build a plutonium bomb is incredibly complicated, due to the neutron instability of plutonium, the high alpha decay rates and also most importantly, the fact that it has to be detonated by implosion . However a Uranium gun-type bomb such as that dropped on Hiroshima, is alarmingly simple in it's design. It was so simple that the Manhattan project engineers did not even test it before dropping it on Japan. The hardest part of constructing a Uranium bomb is getting hold of the materials needed. You need at least 60 kilograms of weapons grade Uranium, an enclosed cannon type device and a neutron initiator which is easily made from Polonium and Beryllium. Add a neutron reflecting material to the mix and you will cause a hell of a lot of damage. It will do more than shatter the windows in your apartment if you let it off indoors. You may not get a kiloton-sized explosion, but you will destroy several blocks of a city and render the wider area uninhabitable for decades. Terrorist organizations such as the Taliban have the ability to build such a bomb if they are assisted by nations that produce such materials needed. This is of massive concern now to all global security agencies since the 2001 attacks on the USA.
Radiation is bizarre. My mom has lung cancer and just had her last round of radiation treatment and the whole building is just incredible. I swear this is absolutely the best time in history to be alive, especially if you have cancer!
I'm only 0:20 in and already this video has me agreeing with it. Like full tilt I was like "yeah I hate when I get irradiated when I wasn't wanting to!" How the hell did you do that? 10/10 intro.
"You hadn't even planned on being irradiated that day, but now you are." Damnit, I hate it when I suddenly get hit by 6 times the lethal dose of radiation.
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

@@neyoid Yeah, for 80+ days, imagine that amount of pain and suffering
@@neyoid he was kept alive due to the wishes of his family, not the doctors. That always gets left out.
@@pfadiva oof
@@pfadiva what also gets left out was that they didn't explain his family how much radiation he was exposed to and how beyond any help he was...fucked up however you put it
The story has all the beats of a cool superhero origin. Then he has the audacity to LIVE and return to a normal life. *BULLOCKS*
That's just what they want you to think. I guarantee you he was exposed to Kryptonite. That's the only reason he died
By focusing his energy he could give you cancer.....
The lead based paint, lead leaded gas, and asbestos probably gave him radiation resistance.
Stevens could also claim to be the first person treated for cancer with radiation. That treatment would become very widespread and is still used till today. Also scientists had a pretty good idea of what radiation did to people. The only thing they didn't know was the exact amounts needed to make people very sick or make them die.
Except he didn't have cancer and calling that a "treatment" is a bit of a stretch lol
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. it was meant as a bit of a stretch. Unnecessary operations and being dosed with radiation is a pretty horrible way to be treated by doctors. Malpractice much?
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. I think that’s the point, they didn’t use radiation to “cure” his cancer, he was injected with radiation and then got surgical treatment for his “cancer” which was actually a benign growth, which means he was “treated” badly by the doctors because of their gross moral negligence.
It's kind of like stabbing someone and calling it "surgery".
Also the first to survive cancer treatment, which is often lethal
Little do you know the Manhattan project continued up until the early 70s. Because my father was a victim of radiation poisoning because he was working at Amchitka Alaska where they blew up 3 nuks, called Long Shot, Cankin, and Milrow. He died at 57 of pancreatic cancer. I remember him telling my mother it will be alright, he'll be fine. I HATE our government for doing that to him and many others working at Amchitka.
This is pretty scary that people with power can just get away with this and government and military can just say sorry and move on if the people found out.
you’re so close bro

This episode blurs the lines between a Tale from the Bottle and a Last Moments. 😱
That was literally my first thought seeing this video pop up in my notifications
Tale from the last bottles?
Last moments from the bottle
He didn't really die from plutonium soo... almost last moments?
Who's last moments would they have been? Nobody died
Hey Qxir, cool video again! just one quick thing, 3Sv over a year is just under 0.01 Sv per day (or 8mSv/day) or about half the yearly limit for flight attendants (20mSv/year). That is roughly 0.3mSv/hour . During a flight, the dose in the plane is about 10 times less, So he experienced the same radiation exposure 10 people would living at 30,000ft for 20 years, which is bad but not as extreme. The body can handle repeated smaller exposure better than one massive dose . You can experience the same (for a few hours) by swallowing 5 sources from a smoke detector which are pretty weak. But don`t do that
Brb, gonna run to Walmart and buy some
Should have read the comment until the end before starting.
My stomach hurts.
Instructions unclear, got 10 smoke detectors stuck up my ass...
Um… I feel funny
“Are you telling me this thing is NUCLEAR???”
- Marty McFly
Unfortunately it actually is very possible to build an atomic bomb with nothing more than public knowledge. A guy named David dobson did it. He did in less than three years. It's actually amazing how few nukes exist when you think about it.
Wasn't there also an experiment the US army did with University students?
The tricky part is getting the fissile (weapons grade uranium or plutonium) material.
Nuclear weapons are fake. I have two videos on my channel that prove this. They're in a playlist called fake nukes if you want to watch them
@@midnightrambler8866 Lucky for us. Imagine the idiots/terrorists that would use it. Just surround it in a high explosive shape charge to suddenly compress it under intense heat and pressure and chain reaction starts in milliseconds.

THANKYOU FOR SHARING
They did a trial once to see if two relatively average people could design a nuclear bomb given publicly available data. They did so successfully.
It's not hard materials though, is the problem.
So is there essentially a how to guide for building a relatively "simple" nuclear bomb?
Thats where the idea of “dirty bombs” comes from. A terrorist with enough time and resources could design something like that.
If you're talking about the "Nth Country Experiment" then it's not quite "relatively average." The people in question had just received PhDs in Physics before starting the experiment, which is no small feat.
Of course, that was also done in the 60s. We have over half a century and the invention of the Internet between then and now.
MMMMMMMMMMH I do not like that
The one radiation story that I find most interesting was poor Hisashi Ouchi.
Reason for this is mainly the biological reaction the body has to such a high dose of radiation and it ends up being a real scary horror story that's really sad.
If it was not for a odd fascination on nuclear disasters I would not find it as interesting.
Fcked up thing was he was crying and beging to die but the " Doctors " wanted to observe how long they could make him live
@@markusbernard5180 the family want to keep him alive and the Doctors told them that he wasn't going to live.
@@markusbernard5180 euthanization laws in japan prevented them from killing him
@@markusbernard5180 that's a myth
@@markusbernard5180this isn’t true, he at one point said “I’m not a guinea pig” but that was when they had to make him breath with machines and it hurt, but beyond that, he then let them continue when thinking about his son, wife, and family. He couldn’t speak for the majority of his treatment, so the last thing he on record said was an I love you to his wife while they talked about everything going on, he didn’t beg to die like people often push, it’s a false narrative that has absolutely no proof, he survived for his family, and because of his family
This dude’s genius IS the cure to cancer
You'd think it wouldn't be too hard to find terminally ill people that would do the test voluntarily. Tell them its for science, give their families a bunch of money etc.
Yeah, but not telling them or paying them increases the sample size and reduces costs. The ethical choice isn't always the pragmatic one.
@@jordanb2812 I'm near suicidal, and I cannot find research to end my life for neither love nor money. Mind you, I'd rather have money.

It could be even worse than it looks. They may have known all along that he didn't have cancer and just made it up to have a test subject. Their were few ethics in science and medicine at that time.
You think there are now, when the government does it?

This is genuinely one of my favorite channels! Always super interesting and hilarious and thought provoking
Crazy how most people worry so much about their health and safety that they get anxiety. But then you realize how strong the human body can be. This guy survived major surgery back then, working with lead-paint all day, then getting a fatal dose of radiation yet still lived until almost 80 years old.
Of course none of the subjects died from top secret experimentation.
I don't think I ever felt so bad laughing while seeing others' misfortune. Great graphics, Qxir!
I'd like to see a video on Kenny Brack, an indycar driver that was exposed to the highest G crash of any person who wasn't liquified on impact.
Also Duncan Hamilton and his co driver who I forget the name of, they won the 24 hours of le mans on day 2 of a hardcore bender. Jaguar tracked them down to a bar the morning of the start of the race, and they had to drive. Seems like a perfect episode of Tales From the Bottle.
it's cuz they jigged when they should have jagged
The Statement that this guy got the most radiation is a little bit too general:He probably got the most into contact with radioactive material but if we look at the more scientific radioactive energy the guy who got the most radiation was a Russian scientist who’s head got literally perforated by a high energy beam at a Hardrone-Collider.He also had to fight to get himself recognised for treatment.

Thanks Govmint
Just made a video about how radiation makes you live longer when it's not acute. Radiation is fascinating stuff.
They're not only hiding that fact, they're also hiding the health effects of bleach! I drink the stuff every single day, and the "doctors" still haven't figured out how my insides look like I'm 20 when I'm at the age of 80.
Fits right in with a little:
Alcohol
Coffee
Chocolate
sex
... and so on
Make you live longer.
All of the lead based paint he used probably protected his cells somehow from the radiation!love all of your episodes 😃
Whaaaat?
Highly unlikely conclusion. Lead paint would have no effect on internal irradiation unless he was eating copious amounts of it, a highly illogical thing to do with any paint, toxic or not.
@@xx_redwood_xx9737 it’s still possible if he was using pigments and mixing his own paint, he could’ve inhaled lead pigment on a regular basis then
This really makes you think, what other experiments occurred that we have no idea happened?
"You don't even know what you don't know!" Love this line
So... this guy is basically Soldier Boy...
I believe that they did know he didn't have cancer, they just went with the flow to test it with a healthy subject.
“now these guys weren’t stupid” after having just explained that one of these guys somehow swallowed plutonium lmfao
The obvious explanation is that he was a painter during the 30s and 40s, and all the accumulated lead shielded him from radiation
Love the "personal" email disclosure at the end! Love the little things; keep it up!
1:40 Don’t like the shape of the rocket

Elder bullet
I noticed that one of those patients on the list was Michael Tyson with dermatphagia (Greek for “ skin eating”). I hope he survived. He might go back for seconds.
I wonder if they removed parts that had most of the radiation during the surgery and that’s how he was able to live so long.
“Out of the blue” is an apt description for being suddenly irradiated, because Cherenkov Radiation, which can be a sign of a nuclear reaction, glows blue.
I love your videos keep up the amazing work
I like how reasonable and considerate the writing was, great video!
LOVE how Qxir can take a subject like plutonium poisoning and make it humorous . Another great video!
I honestly can not count on two hands (because my hands fell off) the number of times I have been minding my own business, only to be hit by 900 RADs from the sky, out of my normally scheduled lethal doses of radiation.
i can count it on my 3 hands
i am sorry to hear this, I hope you are doing better. sounds terrible.

Ugh, right? Hope you’re doing okay, I know that must be hard for you. If you need anyone to talk to, I’m here :(

I love your videos. Great job on this one
I recall a story about a wealthy guy who wanted to own a plot of land an old, ill farmer worked. He made a deal with the old farmer whereby the old farmer would receive regular checks from him so that he wouldn't have to work that hard in return for giving the land to the wealthy man in his will. Years went by. The farm lived out a relaxing life, and recovered his health. The wealthy man lived the stressful life of a mover and shaker. The wealthy man died before the old farmer did. And the old farm went back to farming with the money saved from the regular checks from the wealthy man. Sometimes there no accounting for how long a man will live, and its best not to bet on it.
Qxir, I've been watching your videos for over a year now - love all of them. Keep up the great work and, speaking of radiation, I'd love for you to do a video on Chernobyl !
Love your dedication to your channel, keep it up man!!!

Do not squib a reactive mass in a barrel and then fire an amount that would add up to critical into the squibed mass. You will vaporize your barrel.
Hey! There were Radium flavored civilian consumables too!
On the subject of building a working nuclear bomb - You are correct that to build a plutonium bomb is incredibly complicated, due to the neutron instability of plutonium, the high alpha decay rates and also most importantly, the fact that it has to be detonated by implosion .
However a Uranium gun-type bomb such as that dropped on Hiroshima, is alarmingly simple in it's design. It was so simple that the Manhattan project engineers did not even test it before dropping it on Japan. The hardest part of constructing a Uranium bomb is getting hold of the materials needed. You need at least 60 kilograms of weapons grade Uranium, an enclosed cannon type device and a neutron initiator which is easily made from Polonium and Beryllium. Add a neutron reflecting material to the mix and you will cause a hell of a lot of damage. It will do more than shatter the windows in your apartment if you let it off indoors. You may not get a kiloton-sized explosion, but you will destroy several blocks of a city and render the wider area uninhabitable for decades. Terrorist organizations such as the Taliban have the ability to build such a bomb if they are assisted by nations that produce such materials needed. This is of massive concern now to all global security agencies since the 2001 attacks on the USA.
Radiation is bizarre. My mom has lung cancer and just had her last round of radiation treatment and the whole building is just incredible. I swear this is absolutely the best time in history to be alive, especially if you have cancer!
ARS is, without question, one of the most terrifying ways to kick the bucket

Good for him! That he lived! And being it's science, best believe they, "misdiagnosed" him on purpose..
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
