Bruhaugium
A synthetic superheavy fissile with a critical mass of approximately 1 gram and half-life of several weeks. Fission bombs and reactors using bruhaugium can be made quite small, but must undergo regular maintenance.
Because bruhaugium is difficult to ship, on account of its low half-life and risk of criticality accidents from packing it too densly, it is usually produced via nucleosynthesis near where it is to be used.
