All you need is 56Kg (123lbs) of U235 in a sphere 17.32 cm (6.82in) in diameter
or 11kg (24.2lbs) of Pu239 in a sphere of 10.2cm (4in) in diameter to form around
a neutron emitter to make a chain reaction that goes boom.
The hard part is the manufacturing of the urchin (the neutron emitter that is the key to nuclear weapons) which ironically enough was one of the things that Doge cut. So the USA is currently unable to maintain their existing nukes nor manufacture new ones.
Oh no! Oh yes? Oh no? Not sure if I am a fan of their weapons being unmaintained because, yeah, fuck nuclear weapons!
Or if I a pretty concerned because it further diminishes the US’s international power and I am worried about the consequences for Europe.

There’s still nuclear weapons in Europe that are still maintained (actually in some cases being upgraded).
