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.

Bonus points for not turning your parents’ backyard into a Superfund site.
Is that like seti at home?
It’s not impossible. Though the no radiation part probably is.
For example The radioactive boy scout
Stupid people are easily impressed.
Making weapons grade uranium should also be do able. Just need some mechanics and engineers.
Meanwhile in Iran… ರ_ರ
Didn’t some kid do particle enrichment in his shed with parts from smoke detectors?
I seem to recall that.
