      Hi WOLFBOII

      You need to put radioactive elements like Plutonium and Uranium into a Fission bomb (like the ones dropped at the end of the second world war).

      You can also make fusion bombs, and for those you need heavy isotopes of Hydrogen (like Deuterium , one proton and one neutron).

      Thankfully those have not been dropped on anyone

      Stay awesome!
