English term

uranium slug

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Military / Defense
Buenos días:

Este es el contexto...

Gun bombs, on the other hand, were blunt instruments needing little more than raw force to work. Take two pieces of enriched uranium-235 of a certain combined total mass. Smash them together, hard. Critical mass is reached, and a nuclear explosion results. The type’s name came from the first example of the kind, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima; it literally was a length of gun barrel, a URANIUM SLUG fired from one end into a larger piece at the other.

¿Alguna idea? Porque lo de babosa me parece a mí que no funciona...

¡Gracias por adelantado!

bala de uranio

"Una vez activada, la carga propulsaría una bala de uranio por el tubo del cañon hasta el interior de los anillos de uranio colocados en el morro de la bomba, a fin de obtener la masa crítica necesaria para iniciar la reacción en cadena explosiva."

"Slug" significa también bala.
