That is my opinion based on what I hear from experts. Did you know that the
are about 500 metric tons of bomb-grade plutonium in the world now. Only
about 20 kilograms (an educated guess again) is needed for a bomb.

My recollection from a recent news story is that only about 13 oz were in
the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. ( <<20kg)

I seem to recall that the Bomb dropped on Hiroshime was uranium based, the
Nagisaki bomb was
plutonium based.
