metal-lined to help concentrate the blast wave of the conventional explosives further... Don't confuse the maintenance and lifetime issues of "hydrogen bombs" with those of "atomic bombs". These are worlds apart.

Don't fission bombs also use explosives to help initiate the reaction? I know fusion bombs do, and the explosives have to be arranged very carefully to ensure that the reaction can begin, but I thought fission bombs used them as well, if not in exactly the same manner.
