Indonesian "Militants" Arrested for Plotting Radioactive Dirty Bomb Attack

FYI, Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country, the country always first to be brought up when people argue that not all Islamic countries' citizens pose terror threats, and also not on the travel ban list. (Thanks to @nowhere_NH for pointing that out.)

So: Dirty bomb. Good times.

Religion, peace, of. Some assembly required.

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesian militants planned to detonate a radioactive dirty bomb, security sources said, highlighting the rising ambitions of extremists to wreak destruction in the world's largest Muslim-majority nation.
But experts cast doubt on their expertise, equipment and chances of success.
The plot was foiled when police raided homes and arrested five suspects in Bandung, West Java, last week, the sources with direct knowledge of the plot said. After the raids, police spoke of a plan to explode a "chemical" bomb but provided no other details.
The plot comes as Indonesia grapples with an influx of militants deported from other countries and the fallout from the Islamic State-led siege in the southern Philippines city of Marawi that regional leaders and analysts worry has energized militants across Southeast Asia.

The plot involved getting low-radiation Thorium 232 (half life: 14 billion years) and converting it to highly radioactive uranium 233. This web page explains how that works.

Authorities say they doubt that the "militants" could have achieved that technical process. It looks to me -- a total ignoramus, admittedly -- that the process requires some source of free neutrons to inject into the thorium. The web page suggests to me the typical way to do this is to put the thorium near a nuclear reactor, and allow the bleed of escaping neutrons to bump the thorium up into uranium.

I don't know if there are other ways to do that, or if these "militants" had some kind of access to a nuclear reactor or some other source of free neutrons.

It should be pointed out that building a nuclear reactor is not as difficult or expensive as you might guess.These homebrew "fusors" will generate free neutrons as a byproduct of fusion. (Yes, fusion -- but this kind of fusion requires tons more energy of input than it outputs, so this kind of easily-done fusor is not the type of self-sustaining fusion reactor that we're spending billions to research.)

My guess would be that a DIY fusor would pump neutrons out at such a slow rate it would take years and years to turn thorium into a respectable amount of uranium, but, again, this is just my guess based on the low output of a garage fusor.

108 Neutron generators are highly inefficient, and an enormous amount of neutron energy would have to directed into every gram to get a dangerous level of radioactivity. No way could this have worked. It's simple to generate a handfull of neutrons as a lab curiosity or to help initiate the earliest stage of a fission bomb, utterly impractical to generate a dangerous amount.

Still, it's the thought that counts. They want to take a radioactive shit on us.

Chemical and biological attacks are more realistic. Or one of those high level radiation sources the Mexicans keep throwing in the trash. Remember one time some villagers busted a discarded one open and smeared it all over themselves, fascinated by the purple glow?

Tucker's theory to all of this mess is that the Democrats are just trying to distract from their failures (or all leaders, I think he said).

124 The plot involved getting low-radiation Thorium 232 (half life: 14 billion years) and converting it to highly radioactive uranium 233. This web page explains how that works.

Authorities say they doubt that the "militants" could have achieved that technical process. It looks to me -- a total ignoramus, admittedly -- that the process requires some source of free neutrons to inject into the thorium. The web page suggests to me the typical way to do this is to put the thorium near a nuclear reactor, and allow the bleed of escaping neutrons to bump the thorium up into uranium.

You don't need anything complex.

All you need is a material that absorbs alpha particles, which Th-232 emits, and kicks out a netron, such as for example beryllium or aluminum.

Americium from smoke detectors can also be used as an alpha source, or even orange fiestawar/uranium glass.

As for Brussels, didn't mean the Flemish (phlegms), meant the parts of town that have been "no-go" zones for a while now (like where the train attacker, undone by the vacationing Americans two years ago, came from).

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoedown
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

225 Thorium 232 captures a neutron becoming thorium 233, which then decays through two successive beta decays into uranium 233.

Thanks for the explanation.
I don't have a periodic table handy, so I mistakenly assumed the language in the post indicated U was a higher atomic weight than Th.
Is that at all practical, though? Tickerguy has been on for years about how Thorium reactors would be safer (if they worked) and hellaciously cheaper, but not weaponizable which is why no one uses them.

The dog had wandered into the marsh behind their house, and she looked out and saw the raccoon attacking it. She ran out in her nightgown, grabbed the dog, and promptly fell in a deep hole full of muddy water.

She proceeded to fight the raccoon, while holding onto the now unconscious dog, until the 'coon left.

She's about 5' tall and my hero.

There's good and bad to this.

I went to a Catholic high school that was run by an order of nuns that was incredibly Conservative. At that point, the archdiocese was closing Catholic schools, so it was a good solution. Didn't have a board of directors; was run directly by the nuns, who were awesome business women.

308 "Religion, peace, of. Some assembly required."

or, some dissembling required.

They might only manage kinda dirty, not super dirty xxx.

Muhammad used the sword to force conversion ... set the pattern, the "tupos" for Islam.

Jesus was the peaceful one. We are in man's day, man gets to choose whether to accept or deny. and/or gets to choose whether to obey basic instinct (Gentile had "law written in their heart" ... people know how to be good innately)... resurrection of "the just" or resurrection of the unjust. Just get paradise, unjust get to die a second death after later judgment, if bad.

Believe it or not, the "judeo/christian" version is obviously superior for developing a nation of free thinkers. No allowance for murder/rape in the name of Jesus. The Muslim peace is only AFTER full submission, and the infidels can be enslaved or killed in real time now. Judgment is not withheld, crazy Muslim are allowed/encouraged to treat infidels like dogs, in holy jihad.

So called "westernized Islam" is a small minority, and they have to "dissemble" most of what is written in their book.

314 The Catholic school in question is an "Independent Dominican" and there are only two Dominicans on the staff.

I think this is the correct website:

https://www.sandomenico.org/about/mission-vision

For fun, search "religious studies."

IMHO, any Catholic school that lists "Sustainability" and "Physical Education"over "Religious Studies" is not really a true Catholic school. It's not even a nominal Catholic school.

It's a SJW school started by liberals with a tenuous connection to Catholic teachings.

Well... I'd start with:

1. Lying to voters
2. Helping their Friends the Lobbyists
3. Helping their friends in Big Business
4. Cheap Labor
5. Obamacare
6. No Border Wall
7. No Balanced Budget
8. Making America Democrat Again
9. Appeasing SJW's
10. Passing Democrat approved legislation

I haven't been able to reach one of my friends who has an elderly uncle and a house in Port A. Surely she's fine but it's really weird neither she nor her husband are answering. The island was closed off yesterday so I really hope they didn't go and get stuck there.

Heh, well you know after 9-11 a lot of our neighbors moved out of the city to avoid the forthcoming nuclear attack. Moved way out to places like Scranton. Main flaw with their plan was they took the train into the city to work everyday. So they were spending more than half of their time in the blast zone.

436 Winds out of the east about 20 mph here in Brazoria County. Light to heavy rain. About 4 inches so far in Alvin and Angleton. Eye coming on shore now near Port O'Connor. Predicted rain total through Wednesday may be lower, all depending on future track.

437 A dirty bomb's biggest effect is psychological -- the media will make sure the entire population panics.

A dirty bomb relies on the explosive to physically push the radioactive material outward. That means it will throw it only as far as the shock wave propagates. After that, there will be a downwind plume, which will probably cover more area than the explosion itself. But, how much material do they have to put in the bomb?

Take a container of Comet kitchen scrubbing powder, cut the top off and stick an M-80 firecracker it it. Light it off and see how far the Comet powder is thrown. Same principle.

So a dirty bomb will not be as effective as a real nuke. Not even close.

438 The main safeguard on this kind of thing is that while it's easy to do, it's very hard to do without killing yourself before completing the bomb. All the authorities need to is keep an eye out for terrorists with terminal radiation sickness, and cart away the corpses for safe disposal.

The magazine Electronics Australia once published detailed instructions for building a gun-type fission bomb, along with notes that by step 4 the people involved in step 1 would be bleeding from the eyes...
