I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this.

So, that was the result. It was Mike, the first thermonuclear bomb, in 1952.

Interstage In a two stage thermonuclear weapon the energy from the primary impacts the secondary.

We are looking forward to joining the International Thermonuclear Energy Reactor project involving nuclear fusion, as a full partner.

It is the design of choice for the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, China, and France, the five thermonuclear powers.

Within 50 million years, the pressure and density of hydrogen in the centre of the protostar became great enough for it to begin thermonuclear fusion.

The first thermonuclear weapon, codenamed Mike , was tested at the Enewetak atoll in the Marshall Islands on November 1, 1952 (local date), also by the United States.

Although no official statistics exist, it has been estimated that Israel possesses from 75 to as many as 400 nuclear weapons, which are reported to include thermonuclear weapons in the megaton range.

Also in December, India became the latest nation to join the EU in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) team, which aims to produce electricity using nuclear fusion, as happens in the sun.

And that is, on August 6th, 1945, a B 29 bomber called the Enola Gay flew over Japan and, using a Norden bombsight, dropped a very large thermonuclear device on the city of Hiroshima.

The forthcoming negotiations on the EU s 2014 2020 European budget are an opportunity to change direction and cut the funding for unpromising mega projectslike the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) effort in southern France.

Before Deng launched his four modernizations, China had acquired global military reach by testing its first intercontinental ballistic missile, the DF 5, with a range of 12,000 kilometers (7,500 miles), and developing a thermonuclear warhead.
