4 days ago · Radiation case (confines thermal X-rays by reflection) A thermonuclear weapon, fusion weapon or hydrogen bomb (H bomb) is a second-generation nuclear weapon design. Its greater sophistication affords it vastly greater destructive power than first-generation nuclear bombs, a more compact size, a lower mass, or a combination of these benefits.
5 days ago · The U.S. Department of Defense says it “does not rely on a launch-under-attack policy” but rather maintains the option to prepare and launch nuclear weapons before absorbing a nuclear blow.

2 days ago · December 20, 1968. Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. MWT [ a ] (11:29:21 GMT) on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The test was of an implosion-design plutonium bomb, nicknamed the "gadget", of the same design as the Fat Man bomb later detonated ...
5 days ago · Neutron bombs work by using a combination of nuclear reactions to produce a large number of neutrons. The basic principle is as follows: Fission Reaction: The bomb is triggered by a fission reaction, which is a process in which an atomic nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
5 days ago · How Does a Bunker Buster Bomb Work? Bunker Buster bombs are a type of precision-guided munition designed to penetrate deeply buried targets, such as enemy bunkers, tunnels, and underground command centers. These bombs are designed to withstand the intense forces of penetration and detonate within the target, causing massive damage.

2 days ago · The first atomic bomb test by the Soviet Union in August 1949 came earlier than Americans expected, and over the next several months, there was an intense debate within the U.S. government, military, and scientific communities over whether to proceed with the development of the far more powerful, nuclear fusion–based hydrogen bomb, then known as "the Super".
