   Well, three reasons I can think of off the bat:   
   It would not require messing around with deadly radiogenic material that could   
   kill you if you don't handle it properly.   
   It does not require the mining and processing of such, comparatively rare,   
   material.   
   It would only require rather simple propulsion physics knowledge, as opposed   
   to rather more complicated nuclear physics knowledge required to build a   
   working warhead.
