Only the American trident missiles require launch codes, the British ones just require the good old fashioned two key mechanism and the commander of a British Trident submarine can launch without any authorisation.
Although we bought trident - it is completely independent of the US.

is you get hold of an amount of one of several rather unstable isotopes of radioactive material and divide it in to small amounts which are below the "critical mass" (Above which the material starts to react rather explosively as it decays very quickly). You put these small amounts in close proximity to each other, separated by something fairly fragile. Then you surround the whole thing with something explosive. When the outer explosive is set off, the fissile material is forced together, reaching critical mass and making a bigbadderboom. You can easily rig the fuse to the tip of a rocket so it explodes "properly" on impact.
See, it's not rocket science.

The market rate today is Ł17.64 which equates to about Ł21 once you buy from site due to taxes, their markup etc.
