What about them? They are the same thing: bombs that get their energy from the atomic nucleus. However there are two kinds: fission (breaking up large nuclei into smaller ones) and fusion (joining small nuclei into larger ones). The fusion type are often called thermonuclear because it takes very high temperature to ignite the reaction (about 10 million K).
