Best Answer

Fissionable material sufficient to fission if it comes together, a lab safe enough to handle such material, and mechanisms sufficient to bring the pieces of fissionable material together in what is called "critical mass".

Bare bones, you'd have a very large - and hard to transport - atomic bomb, of WWII size.

If you are wondering - given how easy that would be nowadays - why everyone doesn't have one, it's due to them being valueless without proper means of delivery. Which means they have to be small and yet still powerful, and be mounted on a very long range missile with a sophisticated guidance system.
