a gram or so piece of pure americium241, plutonium 239, uranium235, or uranium 233 (the list of fissionable materials go on) fissioned very quickly
inside of a very strong electromagnet/coil type thing would shoot powerful neutrons out both open ends of the coil. now if you used seperate coil at
one end, ions like argon, neutrons, protons, and other particles would shoot out the open end and could destroy whatever they are focused on using the
magnetic fields.
