What is a booster bomb?

A boosted fission bomb is a bomb with a hollow core filled with tritium gas (sometimes deuterium or a mix of both is used). Shortly after the bomb is fired, the fission heat causes fusion in the gas filling. Neutrons from the fusion cause more fission in the core, boosting the fission fuel efficiency and thus the yield.

Sometimes boosting is used for "dial a yield" bombs. By varying the amount of gas in the core (supplied by a canister of gas outside the core) it is possible to get different yields from the same bomb.

In Candy Crush, the check mark booster, also known as the "Check Mark" or "Color Bomb" booster, helps players by automatically matching candies of the same color when activated. To use it, simply select the booster before starting a level, and it will then assist in clearing candies of that color as you play. This can be particularly useful in levels where specific colors need to be matched or cleared to achieve objectives.
