• Thanks for knocking this one up, much appreciated in light of my comments elsewhere! I think there's a little bit of assumed jargon here, which we could probably resolve at GA by linking, so apologies if I'm asking for a few more phrases to be linked...
• Link critical mass?

  Y Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• thermonuclear weapon can also be linked.

  Y Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "for special purposes" could you allude to one such "special" purpose?

  Y Sure. Added a bit. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• Link neutron.

  Y Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• And chain reaction.

  Y Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "about 25 kg, while that of plutonium would be about 5 kg" converts?

  An odd thing about the old measurements: weights of base metals are in avoirdupois ounces, precious metals in troy ounces, fissile metals in grams. Hence,no conversion required. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "17.5 cm and a thickness of 11.3 cm, for a mass of 317 kg" same.

  Y Converted. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "Tungsten carbide has ..." you previously told us this was WC, why not use that?

  Dislike using chemical symbols when names are available. The symbol tells you its composition, without having to check out the other article, which is why I included it. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• Link depleted uranium.

  Y Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "are obvious advantages" delete obvious.

  Y Deleted. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• Is Uranium-238 linked?

  Y Is now. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "megaelectronvolts" consider linking this too, not exactly a common unit.

  Y Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "is 14.1 kg, compared with 52.5 kg in " convert.
• "the W-88 warhead" neither the image or linked article hyphenates W88.

  Y Image does. De-hyphenated. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "an atomic weight nearly" overlinked.

  Y Unlinked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• Link boron(-10).

  Y Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• And plutonium(-239).

  Y Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "and ionizes at" first mention of "ionize" since the lead and you didn't link it in the lead.

  Y Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• Can we link British nuclear tests at Maralinga?

  Y Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

That's it, it's a very nice piece of work. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 10:34, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

I would have liked to link to an article on diffusion theory, but it redirections to Radiative transfer equation and diffusion theory for photon transport in biological tissue - the very problem (redirects going to inappropriate places) that caused me to write this article in the first place.
