This is a myth. "By the book", an atomic bomb is easy to make, but there
are a lot of factors that must be accounted for (that aren't in the
books) that are absolutely essential. If the basement bomb builder just
thinks that whacking two hunks of material together to get critical mass
is going to blow up the city, all he will end up doing is making a mess
out of his (parent's) basement.
