Best Answer

There are two technically difficult aspects of making a nuclear weapon. First, you have to have a sufficient amount known as a critical mass, of some fissile material, usually plutonium or the U235 isotope of uranium. Secondly, you have to have a mechanism that will bring together the two halves of the fissile material extremely rapidly. If they do not come together rapidly enough, instead of the desired chain reaction you just get a lot of heat, and the device melts (much like a melt-down of a nuclear reactor). That's the key. I will leave the details to you.
