1. fusion bomb

   A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or a combination of fission and fusion reactions (thermonuclear bomb), producing a nuclear explosion. Both bomb types release large quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first test of a fission ("atomic") bomb released an amount of energy approximately equal to 20,000 tons of TNT (84 TJ). The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released energy approximately equal to 10 million tons of TNT (42 PJ). Nuclear bombs have had yields between 10 tons TNT (the W54) and 50 megatons for the Tsar Bomba (see TNT equivalent). A thermonuclear weapon weighing as little as 600 pounds (270 kg) can release energy equal to more than 1.2 megatonnes of TNT (5.0 PJ).A nuclear device no larger than a conventional bomb can devastate an entire city by blast, fire, and radiation. Since they are weapons of mass destruction, the proliferation of nuclear weapons is a focus of international relations policy. Nuclear weapons have been deployed twice in war, by the United States against the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 during World War II.

1. fusion bomb

   A fusion bomb, also known as a hydrogen bomb or thermonuclear bomb, is a type of nuclear weapon that uses the energy from a primary nuclear fission reaction to compress and ignite a secondary nuclear fusion reaction. The result is a significantly larger explosion compared to those produced by fission-only bombs. The process of fusion involves merging the nuclei of lighter atoms into heavier atoms, which releases a large amount of energy.

Examples of fusion bomb in a Sentence

1. Bruce Bennett:

   North Korea appears to have had a difficult time mastering even the basics of a fission weapon, this suggests that unless North Korea has had help from outside experts, it is unlikely that it has really achieved a hydrogen/fusion bomb since its last nuclear test, just short of three years ago.

2. Joe Cirincione:

   Because it is, in fact, hydrogen, they could claim it is a hydrogen bomb, but it is not a true fusion bomb capable of the massive multi-megaton yields these bombs produce.
