The discovery of fission occurred during a time of great turmoil. This was discovered by two German physicists who were later verified by two Jewish refugee physicists. Italian physicists Enrico Fermi later discovered the unique quality of fission that was induced by neutrons but also produced neutrons. This created the idea of ​​a self-sustaining chain reaction, and the large amount of energy found within a nucleus was now accessible on a large scale (section on nuclear weapons, paragraph 1). Nuclear weapons are classified into two types of weapons, which are nuclear fission and fission-induced reactions that trigger a fusion reaction. A nuclear fission bomb is also called an atomic bomb, a fission-induced nuclear weapon is called a thermonuclear weapon, and a hydrogen bomb (Union of Concerned Scientists [UCSUSA], 2009, p. 1). Thermonuclear weapons are capable of creating larger explosions than fission weapons by using fission and fusion instead of deriving their energy solely from fission (UCSUSA, 2009, p. 2). In the “Physics of Nuclear Weapons” the design of thermonuclear weapons is explained by two fundamental components, which are the “primary” and the “secondary” (“The Physics of Nuclear Weapons, p. 6). These two basic components are also called the Teller-Ulam design, which is a “two-stage bomb,” the basic design for all thermonuclear weapons (section Fusion Weapon Physics 2.0, par. 1). This report will examine the inception and development of thermonuclear weapons. Which involves the first detonation of a thermonuclear weapon in 1952 (“Race for the Superbomb,” par. 1). Also the development from the first thermonuclear weapon to the current “Boosted” (UCSUSA, 2009, p. 2) and “Neutron” thermonuclear bombs (section Nuclear weapons, par. 1...... half of the document ... ... nt. This innovation also leads to the possibility of never fully understanding the nuclear weapon. The second is to reduce the environmental burden. This will help to cause habitable places in the long term allows the lives of scientists and other workers not to be endangered during the production of warheads (p. 16-30 Conclusion Thermonuclear weapons have the enormous power to perform various tasks such as destroying infrastructure, destroying or modifying the). agriculture, releasing radiation and heat energy in timed pulses, and killing large quantities of humans. This advanced engineering machine has led to many advances in the harnessing of nuclear energy and in our understanding of radiation. It plays a vital role in modern society politically, environmentally and in our future.
