In general terms, enough U235 or Pu239 to form a critical assembly, but in separate small pieces. Also a high explosive charge of the required shape. When required to fire, the HE charge drives the pieces of U235 or Pu239 together with great force, causing a nuclear explosion. The precise details are secret, and best if they stay that way.
