Atomic bombs are very easy to make if you use Uranium. The problem is that the Uranium is difficult to make.
You need about 3-5000 gas centrifuges arranged in a ‘cascade’ to synthesize the HEU (Highly Enriched Uranium) from Yellowcake. These gas centrifuges are prone to breaking down and not reliable. The environment is highly corrosive so you need special materials.
The power needed to run these centrifuges is enough to power a good sized city.
However, if you can get your hands on some Uranium or Plutonium, building the bomb is really easy.
The Hiroshima bomb just smashed two pieces of HEU together and boom! That’s all it takes.
The amount of plutonium necessary to build an atomic bomb is actually smaller than an orange. A plutonium bomb is a bit more tricky to make, but not hard if you have the other elements... a beryllium reflector and some tritium and you can go thermonuclear...

A few photo-electric triggers, some creative wiring, a box that camoflages the contents as “Live Animals”...
And you have a bomb...Bingo!!!
Why didn’t I think of this before!!!
Wait...I know why...
