How does the atomic bomb work?
There are some other “exotic” weapons out there. The fission-fusion-fission weapon is one that takes it a step further. It just uses the fusion device to trigger another fission device which is built into it. It’s really hairy. There are neutron bombs, too, which just pack more “neutron producing material” in the package to generate more neutron radiation to kill things without increasing blast damage – which is already substantial. We’ve paved the road for you and given you a map to get you started. Should you wish to continue on down it, there will be some school work you’ll have to master to fully appreciate the in’s and out’s of these notoriously quirky devices. Oh, and don’t think you’ll be “tickling the dragon’s tail” any time soon. It takes a PhD and a security clearance above “Top Secret” to even get on the reservation, let alone get in the door. Naturally we have some links you can follow to learn more, and those links can be found below.
