Neutron bomb, specialized type of nuclear weapon that would produce minimal blast and heat but would release large amounts of lethal radiation. A neutron bomb is actually a small thermonuclear bomb in which a few kilograms of plutonium or uranium, ignite
And whom else can we trust with the expressive knowledge of the destructive power of thermonuclear weapons but the so-called father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb, Andrei Sakharov? He was a Soviet physicist, dissident, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who wrote a relatively long essay about the thre...
such as Starlink or the GPS navigation constellation in medium Earth orbit (MEO). China is known to be examining the practicality of such a weapon. Similarly, North Korea has threatened to launch a ballistic missile that would carry a thermonuclear weapon (hydrogen...
To obtain more energy from the thermonuclear reactions than is used to heat the plasma to the ignition temperature. To date, much headway has been made toward achieving these goals. 6.1 Fuel Just like the Sun, the fuel for a fusion reactor is hydrogen, the most abundant element in the Univ...
