Thermonuclear Weapons

Thermonuclear weapons, commonly known as hydrogen bombs, are a type of nuclear weapon that harnesses the energy from nuclear fusion, the same process that powers the sun. Unlike atomic bombs, which rely on nuclear fission (splitting heavy atoms), thermonuclear weapons use the heat and pressure from fission to fuse hydrogen isotopes into helium, releasing a massive amount of energy. This results in an explosion significantly more powerful than traditional nuclear weapons. Thermonuclear weapons are capable of devastating effects over large areas and pose serious risks to global security and humanity.
