"Enhanced radiation" weapons, including the 'neutron bomb', have been stricken
from the US inventory and are (probably) no longer a part of strategic planning.
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 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 has no charge, as it is electrically neutral.
The abbreviation for neutron is "n".

No, the US has bigger, more accurate bombs.
No. The US gave them cryptic messages about the bombs and never told them they had atomic bombs.

No Atomic bombs have even been dropped ON the US.
At this time the US builds no nuclear bombs. A small number of existing bombs are refurbished as needed.
incendiary bombs.
U.S. Bombs was created in 1993.
By the end of Operation Crossroads in the summer of 1946, the US had built a total of 9 atomic bombs and detonated 5 of them, leaving only 4 in the stockpile. Records obtained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists suggest that by the end of 1946 the US had built 5 more atomic bombs, ending the year with 9 in the stockpile.While the Hanford reactors had a design capacity of 3 atomic bomb cores every month, its very obvious that they were being operated far below capacity through 1945 and 1946 to minimize neutron irradiation damage to the graphite moderator and/or shutdown for repairs frequently.
There are several processes that happen in atomic bombs, the main ones are:Fission bombs - hydrodynamics, neutron chain reaction, fission.Fusion bombs - hydrodynamics, radiation transport, thermonuclear fusion, fission.Many other secondary processes occur also.
