Does this cliche make any sense? What is needed to build an atomic bomb? What are the most difficult and easiest requirements? Could a child ACTUALLY do this?
What countries have recently built atomic bombs, or are in the process of doing so, and what approaches are they taking?

Anyone here who has that knowledge should probably not answer your question as it could violate their oath to keep it secret.
Any idiot with a supply of enriched uranium could build a gun-type weapon (Little Boy).
The problem is getting a supply of enriched uranium. Obtaining enough weapons grade uranium (or plutonium for an implosion device) is the biggest obstacle to a nuclear weapons program (besides having every nation on the planet openly being opposed to it).
However, no one makes gun-type weapons anymore. They aren't very efficient nor are they very safe. Fission devices now are implosion type weapons, which require a great deal of engineering skill.
