hydrogen bombs
Thermonuclear explosive devices
Hydrogen bombs are nuclear weapons that derive their explosive power from the fusion of hydrogen isotopes, making them far more destructive than atomic bombs, which rely on fission alone.
Also called thermonuclear weapons or H-bombs.
The first was tested by the United States in 1952; the Soviet Union followed in 1953.
The Cold War arms race produced hydrogen bombs capable of destroying entire cities.
