How to make attom bomb?

A basic nuclear weapon or atomic bomb consists of two or more sub-critical masses of fissile material (e.g. uranium 235) which are brought together rapidly at the moment of detonation. Their combined mass exceeds the critical mass required for a sustained fission chain reaction (where the atomic nuclei split apart, emitting energy and neutrons, and the neutrons strike other nuclei, causing them to split and so on in a “domino” effect). “Gun” type nuclear weapons involve firing a “bullet” of fissile material into a larger mass of the same material to achieve criticality, while “implosion” type bombs use conventional explosives to compress fissile material around a neutron-generating core to start the reaction. That’s how a fission bomb works, but there are more powerful fusion bombs. These use the same method as fission bombs to start the process, but the energy from that explosion is used to compress substances with low atomic weight (e.g. deuterium, tritium) and cause their nuclei to
