Unsure of your term "inputs". To construct a nuclear weapon, it requires a source of scarce fissionable materials, such as Uranium 235, or Plutonium. It requires the ability to perform precision machining of these VERY difficult to work with materials. It requires the use of precisely shaped high explosives of assorted types, the use of extremely high precision electronic timing equipment used to detonate the high explosive trigger, and a source of metals for a neutron donor ( such as beryllium) and the ability to machine that. Along the way, it is good not to die from handling and machining the metals. You also need a way to deliver a very heavy package- the original atomic bombs weighed 9000 to 10,000 lbs.
