Steel for the pressure vessel and pressure circuits, concrete for shielding and structural foundations etc, uranium and zirconium for the fuel. These are the main materials, of course there are many components like control rods and actuators, pumps, valves, instruments and so on.
The nuclear reactor was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard, in London, but he did not try to build one. The first functioning nuclear reactor, CP-1, was designed and built in 1942 by Enrico Fermi, in Chicago, IL.
Leo Szilard invented the nuclear reactor in 1933, but did not build it.Enrico Fermi built first nuclear reactor, CP-1 in 1942.Walter Zinn built the first nuclear power plant, EBR-1 in 1951.
Basic materials to build a transformer are magnet wire, iron core and insulation material to separate the two windings.
Ocean Water
A steam explosion from flash evaporation of coolant water. This is what blew up Chernobyl.A chemical hydrogen/oxygen gas explosion caused by build up of hydrogen gas in the plant when water decomposes on contact with overheated zirconium fuel rod cladding.A nuclear explosion in a nuclear reactor is not possible, the fuel cannot be assembled into a supercritical mass configuration fast enough (~1ms) as this would require explosives. If the reactor core did suddenly go slightly supercritical, the energy release would simply cause a brief partial meltdown, restoring the material to a subcritical configuration. This could trigger a steam explosion that ejected parts of the reactor core (as happened at Chernobyl) but no nuclear yield would occur.
Provided the reactor plants are built. You have to think ahead as it takes a few years to build a plant.
Primarily Concrete and electoral votes
maybe
a lot of materials are needed .
You have to build a nuclear reactor which is an assembly of nuclear fuel and a moderator, which enables a chain fission reaction to start and continue, which releases thermal energy.

materials needed to build a table are wood,adhesives,cutters,and wood polishers.
what materials are needed to build a lighthouse
almost anyone that can get the materials
tHERE ARE LOTS OF PARTS NEEDED
Considering the fact that any competent Physics Grad student using publicly available data could design a workable fission bomb (getting the materials to build it is another issue) having a yield comparable to the ones detonated in WW2; it is impossible to ban nuclear weapons. If a country wanted them it will take them roughly 4 years to build the nuclear materials processing infrastructure to make the needed materials.
