  1. Locate Uranium ore deposits
  2. Mine Uranium
  3. Build Uranium enrichment plant
  4. Enrich Uranium to about 90% pure Uranium-235
  5. Design bomb
  6. Build bomb

The first 4 steps will take an industrialized country about 4 years to complete. Step 5 can be done in parallel with those steps. Step 6 is more or less trivial after the others are complete.

A Plutonium based bomb requires a few additional steps but takes roughly as much effort and time.
