How far is nuclear plant science from nuclear bomb science? I mean, if you know how to make plant how far you are from making a bomb and other way around? I assume it's not that far but i want a professional opinion.

It's close, this is well known. It causes difficulties politically.

URANIUM
---------------------------------------------
Uranium fuel rod
U-235 5%
U-238 95%

when rod is used
U-235 breaks up
U-238 --> U-239 --> Np-239 --> Pu-239

after U-235 portion drops to 0.3%
the rod is used up

waste storage: 10,000 years

Pu-239 can be used to build nuclear weapons

THORIUM
---------------------------------------------
Th-232 --> Th-233 --> Pa-233 --> U-233

U-233 is then used to make pellets

when pellets are used
no U-238 in pellets => no Pu-239 is created
U-233 --> U-232 --> Tl-208

waste storage: 300 years

U-233 can be used to build nuclear weapons,
but only after the U-232 is separated from the mix

Making a nuke is easier than making a functioning, stable plant if that's what you're asking

I wonder if anyone ever tried to "absorb" the cherenkov radiation and store it on a special fluid.

We made uranium piles before we made bombs, and even though we knew how to make pile reactors that generated energy, it took a while to make a bomb.

These shits are complicated, especially if you value efficiency.

However, enrichment is enrichment, at the end of the day.

Also, I'd like to point out that there will almost certainly be no "professional opinions" in a thread on 4chan, especially with regards to this topic.
