With a sufficient mass of U-235, you don't even need to get it wet. You can take two subcritical lumps, and if you put a bucket of water in between them you get a blue flash and everybody nearby dies. The water acts as a moderator facilitating a slow-neutron chain reaction.
Alcohol would probably work as a moderator too, but that doesn't fit the Pugnacious Peach: she's a happy drunk.

the reference to the alkali metal group (group 1) refers to elements such as Potassium or Rubidium which react violently with water
H20+K=HOH+H2+ purple flame (and a ball of molten Potassium rolls around the bowl)
H20+Rb=RbOH+H2+BOOM (smashing the bowl to bits) :-o
not balanced but hopefully the people who might complain will understand that I've presented it like this for general understanding
</chem nerd>
I didn't know about the neutron transfer, although I'd imagine that if you had access to 2 subcritical lumps of U-235 you would probably also know how to handle them
(and Angus obviously knows how to "handle" them :-D)
EDIT: subscript

LOL, message sent. :D Anyone who has a Dr. Girlfriend avatar is inherently awesome, in my book. (Though someone with Brock might top them. All hail the Brock.)
As a newbie to this board, I'd like to point out that little frightens me in this world, but the fact we're now discussing neutron explosions from a comic about the "D'awwwwwwwwwwww" frightens me.

Oh my, you realize there are a lot of people on this board who have NO IDEA what you're talking about?
(Hint for you young'ns: that lady who got nailed with the log in the Snickers Super Bowl commercial is Roseanne.)

I was expecting Faye and Angus to start singing "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off" for a bit there.

I've had this song in mind since Angus' ex came up.
