What is the difference between nuclear and thermonuclear weapon?
In: 205
Respect that the USA would build the most incredibly destructive weapon on the planet (a Nuclear fission weapon) and think, this could be just the detonator for an even more destructive fusion weapon (Thermonuclear weapon). Fusion happens in the sun and can also happen if you capture the energy from a nuclear weapon in just the right way, which is why its “thermo” due to the temperature (aka energy) of the nuclear fusion occurring.
