Date: 2020-10-17 02:07 pm (UTC)The bit with alchemists and radioactive materials reminds me of something from the short novel _Day of the Giants_ (by Lester Del Rey, 1959).
A pair of human brothers in the modern era wind up helping the Aesir fight Ragnarok. One brother is an engineer. He works with the dwarves - who are natural techs - to make modern weapons for the gods. Using a scrying mirror to get the plans, he starts building fission bombs. He discovers the dwarves are already familiar with enriched uranium. "It keeps better in small lumps."
