fusion can be used in several ways:
- external electronic neutron sources, uses a miniaturized particle accelerator with tritium gas to produce a burst of neutrons to initiate fission at the best time for desired yield
- boosting, injects a controlled amount of deuterium and/or tritium gas into a hollow core, when the device is detonated this undergoes fusion producing a large burst of neutrons increasing the fission efficiency; this permits either a reduction in amount of fissile material required or an increase in yield or both; this also permits dial-a-yield bombs having selectable variable yield
- staged fusion, a bomb permitting unlimited theoretical yield; also commonly called the hydrogen bomb
What else can I help you with?
Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
What is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb?
A traditional nuclear fission bomb is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb. The explosion from the fission bomb generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fusion reaction in the hydrogen bomb.
Which is stronger the Nuke bomb or the Atomic bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are essentially the same thing—in both cases, a large amount of energy is released through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. The term "atomic bomb" is commonly used to refer to fission-based weapons, while "nuclear bomb" is a more general term that includes both fission and fusion weapons. In terms of destructive power, the strength of these bombs depends on their design, yield, and delivery method, rather than the specific terminology used.
Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
Which bomb is more dangerous a nuclear bomb or an atomic bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are virtually synonymous. The two terms are both used to refer to a nuclear weapon. Even Wikipedia agrees. The use of either term as a search argument redirects the answer to the article Nuclear Weapon.

What is used in an atomic bomb?
An atomic bomb uses nuclear fission or fusion to release a massive amount of energy. This is achieved by either splitting (fission) or combining (fusion) atomic nuclei, resulting in a powerful explosion.
What is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb?
A traditional nuclear fission bomb is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb. The explosion from the fission bomb generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fusion reaction in the hydrogen bomb.
What was the main purpose of the hydrogen bomb?
The main purpose of the hydrogen bomb was to create a much more powerful and destructive nuclear weapon than the atomic bomb. It was designed to release energy from nuclear fusion reactions, which is many times greater than that of nuclear fission reactions used in atomic bombs.
Which is stronger the Nuke bomb or the Atomic bomb?

Are the a bomb and h bomb the same?
Yes and no.A-bomb or Atomic Bomb is a generic term simply meaning a bomb getting its energy from the atom. This name has become commonly used to mean Fission bomb.Nuclear Bomb is a generic term simply meaning a bomb getting its energy from the nucleus of the atom, can be used interchangeably with Atomic bomb as a generic term.Fission Bomb is a term for a specific type of Atomic/Nuclear bomb getting its energy from the fission (breaking up) of large atomic nuclei (e.g., Uranium or Plutonium).Fusion Bomb, H-bomb, or Hydrogen Bomb is a term for a specific type of Atomic/Nuclear bomb getting its energy from the fusion (combining) of small atomic nuclei (e.g., Deuterium or Tritium).Most modern Nuclear Weapons use combinations of Fission and Fusion to get desired results. This makes it hard to put them in fixed categories.Hope this helps some to clarify things.
What is the principle used in the hydrogen bomb?
Nuclear fusion.
Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
What kind of nuclear reaction does an atomic bomb use?
An atomic bomb uses a nuclear fission reaction. This involves splitting the nucleus of a heavy atom, such as uranium or plutonium, into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
Why is an atomic bomb sometimes called a fisson bomb?
The term atomic bomb is a general one. It refers to any kind of nuclear weapon. But there are basically a couple of different types of nuclear weapon: the fission weapon, and the fusion weapon. (We can split hairs and add some, but let's not.) In a "regular" atomic or nuclear weapon, a fission weapon, subcritical masses of fissile material, usually plutonium, are driven together by conventional explosives and the thing goes off. Boom! There is fission, but no fusion. That differentiates this type of weapon from a fusion device. The term fusion deviceis used to talk about what used to be called the hydrogen bomb. The fusion weapon must have a fission device to create the heat necessary for fusion to occur, and it uses the fission bomb to "trigger" fusion in that light. If someone uses the term "fission bomb" in a presentation, they are not talking about the so-called hydrogen bomb or any fusion weapon - if they are using the term correctly.

Was the atomic bomb used in world war 2 a fission or a fusion bomb?
