An enhanced radiation weapon or "neutron bomb" is most likely simply a thermonuclear weapons (or "hydrogen bomb") whose radiation case is made of a material transparent to neutrons like nickel. Instead of using a heavy metal like uranium or lead to contain the neutrons, they are allowed to escape, thus providing a burst of fast neutrons, whose effects you can guess.
Contrary to popular belief, an ERW does produce a very large explosion.
the neutron bomb was called as capitalist bomb because it destroyed people not property

It is widely believed that the United States, Russia, China, and possibly a few other countries have developed neutron bombs. Neutron bombs are a type of thermonuclear weapon designed to release a large number of neutron particles while minimizing blast and heat effects.
The neutron bomb is designed to release a large amount of neutron radiation, which is highly effective at killing living organisms while minimizing damage to buildings and infrastructure. This means that it can kill people while leaving structures relatively intact, a characteristic that is often considered surprising or controversial.
A neutron bomb is sometimes referred to as a "smart bomb" because it is designed to release a high amount of neutron radiation that is lethal to living organisms, while causing minimal damage to buildings and infrastructure. It is considered "smart" in the sense that it is targeted to cause specific harm to biological targets while minimizing collateral damage to physical structures.

The Controllers' "Neutron Bomb" begins with a poem from WWII about a disemboweled gunner on a bomber over Europe. Then it goes: Some people think atomic bombs are weird But I don't want to end up seared By the Neutron Bomb Very strange! By the Neutron Bomb Cold War exchange! I can't get up Might get blown up Neutrons falling down Might as well hang around For the Neutron Bomb Try heading over to www.lyrics.com and search "The Controllers" and see if the band and song come up. If that doesnt work, try searchng the artist and song name on google (:
The United States was the first country to develop the neutron bomb in the 1950s and 1960s. The neutron bomb is a type of thermonuclear weapon designed to release a large amount of deadly neutron radiation while minimizing blast and heat effects.
A neutron bomb is a nuclear bomb.Specifically a neutron bomb is a modified fusion (hydrogen) bomb.In a standard fusion bomb the fusion tamper is Uranium-238. This absorbs the high energy fusion neutrons and fissions, producing roughly 90% of the yield of the fusion bomb and most of the fallout.If instead we change the fusion tamper to a different dense metal with a much much smaller cross-section for absorbing neutrons, then most of them escape. This is a "neutron" bomb. If everything else is the same, it has only about 10% of the yield and a tiny fraction of the fallout of the standard fusion bomb (making it a "clean" bomb).Sometimes the neutron bomb is considered an anti-tank weapon, as the neutrons can pass through the tank and irradiate the crew while the lower yield and fallout produce less blast damage and radiological contamination.However the high neutron flux induces secondary radioactivity in most exposed materials. This is also a form of radiological contamination, but cannot be washed off like fallout.
Yes, fusion reactions occur in a hydrogen bomb, which is a type of nuclear bomb. The high temperatures and pressures generated by the fission reaction in the bomb can trigger fusion reactions between hydrogen isotopes. This fusion reaction releases a large amount of energy, contributing to the destructive power of the bomb.
Neutrons are made of quarks (3 per neutron).
