There are no different " Types " of weapons. It is what occurs inside of the bomb. nuclear fusion is when 2 nuclear particles join. Nuclear fission is when 2 nuclear particles split. Particle fusion is when 2 helium particles join. Say each particle weighs 1 gram. If 2 collided, then you would think that the mass would be 2. Well, there is a release of energy which is equivalent to a nuclear bomb going off. This occurs millions of times in the sun.
