- The plutonium was a lime-green LIQUID.
- They bombarded the plutonium with electrons. Whaaaattt??????
- Enough static electricity was created in the air to make visible sparks between fingers and metal objects.
- There was a magnet involved??
- There was a laser involved--even now, laser techniques for enrichment aren't viable.
- Nitrogen triiodide would have made a bigger boom and been more red, less blue.

I've always wanted to do a demo with nitrogen triiodide. Have you seen those videos where they just drop a feather on the powder? Crazy stuff.
