Hydrogen bomb
 scroll 
Nuclear weapon using the energy release of nuclear
fusion reactions. Probably, the reactions 6Li (n, ) 3H + 4.8 MeV and H (d,n)4He + 17.6 MeV are involved.
An atomic bomb is used to fire the hydrogen bomb, i.e. to reach the
temperature required for fusion. The explosion force achievable far
surpasses that of atomic bombs, the destruction equivalent is that of
several megatonnes trinitrotoluene, a chemical explosive. The first
hydrogen bomb was fired on the Bikini Atoll on 1st March
1954.
