Im beyond my own a bit too to be honest, this isnt my wheel house.

But I know enough to be dangerous, its really just simple logic, neutrons, when captured by atoms make them radioactive, the more they capture the more unstable.

When neutrons are just the right speed atoms will readily absorb them, but if they too fast they will speed past and not be absorbed until they slow down passing through stuff (which may be way overshoot). So by adjusting the speed of the neutrons you change how deep the absorption depth is, focusing more neutrons to be captured in a much shorter distance the slower they move.

combine these ideas and if you had a laser you could adjust the speeds you can concentrate all teh neutrons to be absorbed in a very shallow depth and cause a nuclear explosion at whatever you point it at.

Interesting tidbit: parafin wax is usually used to slow down neutrons to cause this effect, the term is a "neutron moderator"
