It's in the TFA, there a photo of a fellow holding a small box thing that looks like a battery from a car or an old box torch.

- ronnier 4mo agoI saw that but not a picture of the plutonium core which I thought the OP was referring to
- libraryofbabel 4mo agoThat’s the one I meant. It’s the core, but in a box, which makes it look even more innocuous, like he is indeed just lugging a piece of industrial equipment around. There’s lots of photos of the actual (unboxed) cores online if you search.
- ronnier 4mo agoOn flight WiFi so searching was a hard but I did find it. Thanks!
- trhway 4mo ago>makes it look even more innocuous, like he is indeed just lugging a piece of industrial equipment around if i remember correctly what i read it was done intentionally for security reasons - instead of all the pomp-and-circumstance of a large strong security convoy the core was delivered by a driver in a simple inconspicuous truck.
