A Hydrogen bomb uses heavy Hydrogen or Deuterium to create a fusion chain reaction. Before that can happen however there needs to be a smaller fission explosion (atomic bomb). The radiation from this trigger explosion is directed into a hollow chamber like a bucket pointed at the atomic bomb, which contains Deuterium. Often there is a rod of Plutonium running the length of the bucket at the centre. This is designed to amplify the chain reaction and spark fusion releasing much greater quantity of energy.
OK, you asked for briefly.
- atomic bomb at one end of hydrogen bomb casing detonates.
- x-rays from atomic bomb implode hydrogen bomb, heating & raising pressure in it.
- when at high enough temperature & pressure, hydrogen bomb explodes.
An atomic bomb is just the atomic bomb mentioned at the beginning of step 1.
A full description of all the events in a typical fission-fusion-fission hydrogen bomb consists of almost 2 dozen steps. A full description of the events in a typical fission atomic bomb is less than 6 steps.
