Designing a basic nuclear bomb is a piece of cake in 2024. A gun-type weapon is super basic. Actually making or getting the weapon's grade fissile material is the hard part. And of course, a less basic design means you need less material.

And doing all of that without dying from either radiation poisoning, or lead-related bleeding is even harder.

For example The radioactive boy scout

Making weapons grade uranium should also be do able. Just need some mechanics and engineers.
