- The fissile fuel is packaged in the bomb as a subcritical mass.
- The fusing system detects the preset firing condition.
- A firing pulse is sent from the fusing system to the rapid assembly system.
- The rapid assembly system uses explosives to repackage the fissile fuel as a supercritical mass.
- A neutron source fires through the supercritical mass, initiating the chain reaction.
- The chain reaction increases exponentially until the resulting explosion disassembles the fissile fuel back to a subcritical mass.
