>>Building a nuclear bomb doesn't require a lot of equipment. What needs time and special equipment is refining the uranium into plutonium. Once the plutonium is on hand, depending on the design of the bomb, construction isn't a particularly big deal.<<

Jim -

Since refining uranium into plutonium is a necessary step in building a bomb, I'll stand by my original point.

Even if you have the plutonium on hand, building the bomb isn't something you can do in a garage or without special equipment. Not unless you want to die of radiation poisoning in a very short time.
