Isn’t the trigger for an H-bomb an A-bomb?

Yes. The discovery that lithium-6 boosted yield was by accident, but led to the production of the 'dry' bomb'. I still say 'glory be to the bomb'. The threat of its use is still our salvation.

I meant lithium-6 deuteride.

But we also learned that lithium-7 will do just about as well when it burned during the Castle Bravo test. Oops, that was supposed to be 6 megatons, not 15! Cleanup on aisle three!
