Credit to this invention usually goes to Lawrence Livermore Lab's Samuel Cohen in 1958. The ERW was tested in 1963. Development was halted by President Carter in 1978 and restarted by President Reagan in 1981. Some weapons were retired in 1992 by President George Bush. The last warhead was dismantled in 2003.

When did Leonardo da Vinci invent the stink bomb?
Leonardo's inventions were much more meaningful than that. See the related link.
What is smaller an atom or an atom's neutron?
The neutron is a part of the atom, therefore it is smaller.
What species are formed by the decay of neutron?
electron and neutrino are formed by the decay of neutron.
What scentisit described the existence of the neutron?
Ernest Rutherford described the existence of the neutron.
What is neutron absorbing glass?
A glass with the composition CdO-SiO2-B2O3 forms a neutron absorbing glass which is quite stable against moisture attack and divitrification and are good slow neutron absorbers
Why did the soviets call the neutron bomb the Capitalist bomb?
the neutron bomb was called as capitalist bomb because it destroyed people not property
What was the idea for the nuclear bomb?
Uncontrolled neutron chain reaction, invented in 1933 by Leo Szilaard, implemented in 1945.
What bomb kills life but leaves buildings standing?
Neutron bomb
Who invented the neutron.?
No one invented the neutron. It was discovered by James Chadwick.
Which country was first to develop a neutron bomb?
USA
What did Leo Szilard need to do in order to invent the atomic bomb?
As he did not have to build the atomic bomb, all that he had to do to invent the atomic bomb was to think.That is really all that is required for most inventions: think of a new and novel way to do something.What Leo Szilard invented that was new and novel was the neutron chain reaction, the process that in the atomic bomb drives the exponentially accelerating nuclear fission of uranium or plutonium atoms. However he did not know about either nuclear fission or what elements might be able to support the neutron chain reaction process that he invented. This took the work of others before the atomic bomb could actually be built.
What bomb was invented after the a-bomb?
The Hydrogen Bomb .
Who invented the nuclear bomb where was he from?
Leo Szilard invented the fission bomb. Edward Teller invented the fusion bomb. Both were from Hungary.
Which countries have neutron bombs?
As of today, no country is known to have an Enhanced Radiation Weapon ("neutron bomb") in their active stockpile.
When was the first bomb invented?
The first bomb was invented in 1281 A.D.
What is the surprising effect of the neutron bomb?
A neutron bomb, or enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a type of tactical nuclear weapon designed specifically to release a large portion of its energy as energetic neutron radiation rather than explosive energy. Neutron bomb would use nuclear fusion, but in a different way. The detonation of a neutron bomb would still produce an explosion, but one much smaller than a standard nuclear weapon's. The main effect of a neutron bomb would be the release of high-energy neutrons that would take lives far beyond the blast area. The result: fewer buildings, cars, tanks, roads, highways and other structures destroyed.
Alfred Nobel invented what?
he invented the dynamite or the atom bomb
