Since its critical mass is 52kg, a 100kg of uranium-235 would make a mushroom cloud the moment you put it all in one bag.
I like where your head is at, but that's not how criticality works.
It'd definitely be deadly, but wouldn't mushroom cloud.
Good point. Just read more about it and it seems to require certain conditions to trigger a fission reaction the way I described it. E.g temperature, pressure, shape of the payload.
Still, while these variables are uncertain, I wouldn’t rule it out.
