The greatest amount of energy released is due to the fission (atomic bomb) or fusion (hydrogen bomb) reaction after the the weapon is detonated by one of several means (gun-type trigger, implosion, or boost method).

Fission reactions are responsible in most detonations for the greatest amount of energy released; this is due to the fact that hydrogen bombs (fusion) use fission explosions as a detonator, and that the fusion process can also cause further fission reactions.
