The consumable pusher makes the bomb more a uranium fission bomb than a hydrogen fusion bomb.

The radioactive material would not be useful for a fission bomb, but could be used in a dirty bomb.

In 1949, the Soviets exploded their first fission bomb, and in 1950 U.S. President Harry S. Truman ended the H bomb debate by ordering the Los Alamos designers to build one.

In 1952, the 10.4 megaton Ivy Mike explosion was announced as the first hydrogen bomb test, reinforcing the idea that hydrogen bombs are a thousand times more powerful than fission bombs.

Over half of the neutrons escape the bomb core, but the rest strike nearby U 235 nuclei causing them to fission in an exponentially growing chain reaction (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.).

The idea of the hydrogen bomb first came to public attention in 1949, when prominent scientists openly recommended against building nuclear bombs more powerful than the standard pure fission model, on both moral and practical grounds.

This is, in many ways analogous to the chain reaction that occurs in the fission of neutrons in a nuclear reactor and has been referred to by R.H. Dicke (reaching for a metaphor) as an optical bomb .

In a fast reactor, they may require fewer neutrons to achieve fission, as well as producing more neutrons when they do fission.

Nuclear energy, fission, is really bad idea for bombs.

Its yield was 3.5 megatons, 85 fusion and only 15 fission.

Fortunately the designers had made provisions in the design to increase the reactor's reactivity (the number of neutrons per fission that go on to fission other atoms of nuclear fuel).

Fission yields during development they were hoping to get clean bombs they didn't.

Nuclear power, both fission based and fusion based, is yet another possibility for vast, reliable, secure, and environmentally safe primary energy.

Pure fission weapons were the first nuclear weapons built and have so far been the only type ever used in warfare.
