It's not like you can just buy some uranium to experiment with in your home lab, so even if a normie had this idea they would probably not be able to test it in any way.
You actually can. Small quantities of natural or depleted uranium have no special nuclear regulations associated with them in the United States and can be shipped like other moderately toxic metals.
Theres 4.5 billion tons of the stuff in seawater. Enough uranium to make 70 billion little boy bombs if my math is right, using an algae perhaps you’ve designed to accumulate uranium.
