  Yes.

  Also, this wouldn’t produce an explosion. There is a MASSIVE difference between supercritical and bomb levels of prompt critical.

      You’d have to use enough energy to compress it a lot. The kinds of energy where you wouldn’t even need the core there to utterly obliterate something the size of the Titanic.
