Depends on the exact bomb:
- for most of the 1950s most US atomic bombs were 5 feet in diameter as that was the size of a standard bomb bay.
- nuclear artillery shells and missile warheads have been built with diameters as small as 6 inches.
- the Ivy Mike device tested in 1952 was 20 feet in diameter and 80 feet tall.
Basically pick any size you want as required by your application, a nuclear bomb can probably be made in that diameter.
