This is usually a good case for there not being a way to
do it. As we look at everything man has done, we notice
that nature has often been using that principle for something
else for billions of years. It is vary important to explore
why we can't do it but foolish to believe that because we
don't know why we can't that somehow we will beat all the indicators
and find the trick that nature missed and only we could find.
I can't think of any case in nature of fast nuclear fission like
we've been able to do for fifty-odd years. In fact, I can't think
of any "natural" way to achieve a critical mass of fissionable
material.
