do hydrogen bombs have any fallout? Is it just reduced or dispersed?

1.16K viewsOtherPhysics

I’ve heard people say there is no fallout, but there typically is a fission bomb in the secondary stage. Where does its radiation go? Is it just blown away by the fusion bomb so it’s no longer as deadly? Isn’t it still there though? Is it just weaker?

Fall Out is produced, not only by the explosion, but by the things the explosion destroys like buildings, ground, fluid, etc… They become dust and steam. These things mix with the radiation and the shock wave distributes it.
