As of today, no country is known to have an Enhanced Radiation Weapon ("neutron bomb") in their active stockpile.
The US developed neutron bombs during the Cold War, but it is believed that they are no longer in the active arsenal. Neutron bombs are a type of nuclear weapon designed to produce a large amount of neutron radiation while minimizing blast and heat effects, making them potentially more effective in targeting enemy troops while reducing collateral damage.
Countries known to have hydrogen bombs in their possession include the United States, Russia, China, France, and the United Kingdom. Israel is also believed to possess nuclear weapons including hydrogen bombs, though they have not officially confirmed this.
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.

Atomic bombs have not been used in warfare since 1945. Nations have an arms control agreement called the Non-Proliferation Treaty to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, and most countries have committed to not use atomic bombs. However, some countries still possess these weapons as a deterrent.

Countries want them, countries make the laws.
Atomic bombs were not used anywhere in Europe in WW2. The only country that atomic bombs were dropped on in any war is Japan.

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.

Africa, Brazil.
There are 8 countries with official ownership and control of atomic bombs: The US, Russia, UK, France, China, India, Pakistan and North Korea. There are 5 countries storing atomic bombs, but with ultimate custody for the bombs belonging to the US: Belgium, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and Turkey. Israel is also believed to have atomic bombs. And Iran,possibly.

James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932. Leo Szilard got the idea of the neutron chain reaction as a means of releasing the energy of the atom in 1933 and filed a patent on this process in 1934 (the patent was granted in 1936 and promptly classified by the British Admiralty to prevent Germany from seeing it). However the breakthrough that made atomic bombs possible was the discovery of nuclear fission of uranium in 1939 by a joint German and Swedish team.
