Can U-233 be made into a bomb?

[Flexwheeler]

TL;DR

Some claim U-233 can, others that you cannot make a bomb out of U-233 without plutonium into bomb? What is true?

Can U-233 only be made into bomb just like U-235? There are conflicting views on whether U-233 (alone without plutonium) can be made into (nuclear)bomb or not.
Further more, can it weaponized both using implosion and guntype or only one of them? Thanks for answer/-s.

I'd reply to your question, but then I'd be put onto the FBI watch list too along with you.

(oops!)

Why do you ask?

 

[Flexwheeler]

I am just curious. I don't fear being on the FBI Watch list since I have nothing to hide.

Can bomb be made with U-233 without presence of U-235 and or plutonium-239?

Of course. Thread closed.
