First - Metal square, in this whatever what increase pressure (maybe explosive), and next plutionium what make neutrons which makes reaction with uranium in middle.
Go to my creations. I made a plutonium nuke with a uranium 'buffer' or 'pusher'. In this game, uranium is non-reactive to neutrons, so you can't use only uranium.
Just make a metal box, fill it with C4 (the all important thing people leave out), hollow out a bit, press pause, make a square of plutonium (good size), and fill the remaining space between the plutonium and C4 with uranium. Unpause. Use air on the plutonium, until neutrons appear. Now, you should have a reaction.
EDIT: alternately, do what the guy above me said. I didn't see that when I posted this :P
