I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bomb-makers here chopped sausage found in lavatories' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'bomb-makers here chopped sausage found in' is the wordplay.
'bomb makers here' becomes 'loos' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'chopped' means to remove the last letter (the final letter is chopped off).
'sausage' becomes 'salami' (salami is a kind of sausage).
'found in' is an insertion indicator.
'salami' with its final letter taken away is 'salam'.
'loos' going around 'salam' is 'LOS ALAMOS'.
