What do scientists have to do with the uranium before using in a nuclear bomb?
To use natural uranium in a bomb either of 2 things must be done first, both are expensive and require large infrastructure investment to do them:Enrich the uranium from 0.72% uranium-235 (natural) to 93.5% uranium-235 (Oralloy or HEU).Process the uranium to turn some of the uranium-238 to plutonium-239 in a reactor then chemicallly separate the plutonium from the rest of the irradiated material chemically.In WW2 the US did step 1 at Oak Ridge, TN using a gigantic gaseous diffusion enrichment plant and an electromagnetic separation plant; and step 2 at Hanford, WA using several graphite moderated reactors and large chemical separation plants called "canyons".
Which of the following processes does not facilitate containment?
Enrichment of uranium-235 is done.
What are the effects of atomic warfare?

What are the steps of making nuclear bombs?
Locate Uranium ore depositsMine UraniumBuild Uranium enrichment plantEnrich Uranium to about 90% pure Uranium-235Design bombBuild bombThe first 4 steps will take an industrialized country about 4 years to complete. Step 5 can be done in parallel with those steps. Step 6 is more or less trivial after the others are complete.A Plutonium based bomb requires a few additional steps but takes roughly as much effort and time.
