Depending on the design and purpose of the nuclear bomb this varies dramatically. Publicly released data shows that the US has built ones as small as about 11 inches in diameter and 31 inches long (Davy Crockett in image above) to ones as large as 80 inches in diameter and 244 inches in height (1952 Ivy Mike test device). Nuclear artillery shells have been built as small as 5 inches in diameter and 24.5 inches long to as large as 11 inches in diameter and 54 inches long. Nuclear landmines have been built as small as 11 inches in diameter spheres, but the most typical size is similar to a standard "55 gallon oil drum".
