Several different materials. One of them is Uranium 238. While it will not normally undergo a nuclear chain reaction, being in the heart of a detonating nuclear weapon is not normal.

Why was the first hydrogen bomb unusable?

The first test of a fusion (hydrogen) bomb required tons of equipment and supplies just to test several theories. There would be no way to package all of that into an air-deliverable bomb, or mashed up into the nosecone of a missile. Once the theories were proven, or failed, improvements were made and miniaturization, that then allowed the hydrogen bomb to be deliverable.

How powerful is a hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is approximately 4.87 times more powerful than an atom bomb. What makes these bombs so powerful is that hydrogen is an extremely inflammable and explosive gas. When the bomb is released, the special coating used on its shell captures tons of friction, which heats the bomb. Then the detonator button is pressed, and the bomb blows up. Also, if the bomb comes in contact with the ground, before the button is pressed, then the heat absorbed by the bomb will set fire to the hydrogen inside and blow the bomb up.


Can a hydrogen bomb blow up a state?

It really would depend on it's size, but I would say no, a single hydrogen bomb could not ordinarily decimate an entire state.


Information on US explodes H-bomb?

The H-Bomb, or Hydrogen Bomb, has never been used in warfare- the bombs dropped on japan at the end of WW2 were ATOMIC bombs, which are not as destructive. The Hydrogen Bomb is very much more powerful than the atom bomb, and has only ever been exploded in tests. For full information, Google 'US Hydrogen Bomb' and see what comes up.
