No country is known to currently have neutron bombs.

The concept was developed in the US in the early 1960s (and some testing along those lines was done by, at least, the US and France in the mid-1960s), and France actually tested a full neutron bomb in 1980.

Which country in July 99 officially announced mastering of indigenously developed neutron bomb technology?

In July 1999, India officially announced that it had successfully mastered the technology to develop a neutron bomb.


Which countries have neutron bombs?

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.


Why neutron bomb is known as smart bomb?

It is not. A "smart" bomb is one with a guidance system that guides it directly to the target. A "Neutron" bomb is a specialized form of nuclear weapon that produces relatively little blast, but releases more immediate nuclear radiation than most other nuclear weapons


What is the surprising effect of the neutron bomb?

A neutron bomb, or enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a type of tactical nuclear weapon designed specifically to release a large portion of its energy as energetic neutron radiation rather than explosive energy. Neutron bomb would use nuclear fusion, but in a different way. The detonation of a neutron bomb would still produce an explosion, but one much smaller than a standard nuclear weapon's. The main effect of a neutron bomb would be the release of high-energy neutrons that would take lives far beyond the blast area. The result: fewer buildings, cars, tanks, roads, highways and other structures destroyed.


Did Einstein develop the atomic bomb?

No, Albert Einstein did not develop the atomic bomb, which was developed by a team of researchers led by J. Robert Oppenheimer. Einstein's theoretical work does provide the basis upon which the bomb was developed.
