A nuclear weapon requires enriched uranium or plutonium as the fissile material to sustain a chain reaction and create a nuclear explosion. Additionally, a conventional chemical explosive is needed to trigger the nuclear reaction.

What is needed to make an nuclear weapon?

First and foremost a nuclear weapon needs some type of heavy and easily fissable isotope, usually Uranium 285, or Plutonium 345. Most nuclear weapons use what's known as an implosion disk, which is essentially a sphere of high explosives surrounding the fuel isotope. When this sphere detonates, it smashes the atoms of the fuel element together this starting the reaction. In thermonuclear devices, the isotope is usually a more stable element, and it detonates through a rapid buildup of heat.

How much uranium is needed to make a nuclear weapon?

It typically takes about 15-25 kilograms of highly enriched uranium (HEU) or 3-5 kilograms of plutonium to make a nuclear weapon. The exact amount can vary depending on the design and efficiency of the weapon. The International Atomic Energy Agency closely monitors and regulates the use and handling of these nuclear materials to prevent proliferation.
