    Interesting. Bring on the A-bomb foundries! Had this been discovered during the exploration phase of atomic bomb use we probably would have seen A-bomb foundry proposals.

    There is a hypothesized process in this paper that sounds like a graduate thesis on its own.

    Not the most economical manufacturing process, it has to be said.

      The paper explains it more as an experimental process than a manufacturing process. Each granule of hiroshimaite captures a "unique" micro-environment. One could imagine an ethical version of this involving conventional explosives in a controlled environment containing a variety of metallic samples of different compositions.

      You can probably skip the town in the ingredient list.
