 Don't stop at an A-Bomb.  With instructions from the net you can
quite easily build an H-Bomb.  Refer to :-

 http://my.ohio.voyager.net/~dionisio/fun/make-your-own-h-bomb.html

 Don't be swayed by the suggestion this is "fun".

"The heart of the successful H-bomb is the successful A-bomb. Once
you've got your A- bombs made the rest is frosting on the cake. All
you have to do is set them up so that when they detonate they'll start
off a hydrogen-fusion reaction."

 ------------------------------------

 From recall a used vacuum cleaner comes in useful and the article not
only explains how to make the bomb but where to get the raw materials.

"If you can't get hold of any enriched uranium you'll have to settle
for commercial grade (20 percent U-235). This can be stolen from
university reactors of a type called TRIGA Mark II, where security is
even more casual than at commercial plants. 

If stealing uranium seems too tacky, you can buy it. Unenriched
uranium is available at any chemical supply house for $23 a pound.
Commercial grade (3 to 20 percent enriched) is available for $40 a
pound from Gulf Atomic."
