Aren’t nuclear weapons H-Bombs? If they’ve only just developed them, weren’t the Norks armed with mere Atomic weapons rather than nukes?
They only had ‘atomic’ ones, which are fission only. Perhaps boosted with tritium, which is simply gas that’s injected into the core right at explosion. Doubles the blast.
The Teller-Ulam thermonuclear design is a big harder, but hardly impossible once your have fission worked out.
Fission, fusion...they’re all nuclear weapons. It’s all about creating the chain reaction.
Nuclear weapon=fission, fusion
Fission=nuke, atomic,neutron, A-bomb
Fusion=nuke, hydrogen, thermonuclear, H-bomb
Atomic weapons are nukes
NK has fission nukes, A-bombs
All varieties will kill you.
No. Atomic bombs are fission reactions. Hydrogen bombs, or thermonuclear bombs, are fusion devices that use a fission reaction as a detonator.
Fusion gives off way much more energy.
Nope. There are two types. Fission and fusion.
Fission devices are called single stage and use either Uranium or Plutonium cores to create the fission and thus the effects.
Fusion devices are two stage (sometimes more) that use a fission core, the first stage, to compress a second stage that create a fusion reaction. This creates much more devastating effects.
