The information contained in this file is strictly for academic use alone. UC Berkeley will bear no

construct these devices are skilled physicists and are more knowledgeable in these matters than any
layperson can ever hope to be... Should a layperson attempt to build a device such as this, chances
are s/he would probably kill his/herself not by a nuclear detonation, but rather through radiation
exposure. We here at UC Berkeley do not recommend using this file beyond the realm of casual or
academic curiosity.
