This is the most classic type of fusion bombs. This design is often applied to intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads with high potential and the name comes from two scientists Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam . In this type of bomb, the fission is caused by an implosion bomb, this is a more tamper consists of a cylinder of uranium 238, containing the solid mixture of lithium and deuterium (deuterated lithium) as well as a hollow tube of plutonium 239 in the center of the cylinder . The necessary separation between the fission bomb and the cylinder is made possible by a shield of uranium 238 and a foam that fills the gaps in security remain.
Once the fission bomb is shone, there is a whole series of complex events: the
X-rays due to the outbreak of the implosion bomb heat the whole core, while the guards prevent a premature detonation, the
heating causes a strong increase in pressure that compresses the deuterium solid;
meanwhile began a process of fission of plutonium in the barrel, causing the emission of radiation and neutrons ;
the collision between these neutrons and the solid compound leads to the formation of tritium;
at this point there is the real fusion;
enormous energy and heat are added those of the newly developed induced fission fragments of uranium 238 in the interior all'ordigno (from cylinder and shield);
energies produced by fission and fusion are added, creating a powerful nuclear explosion, the order of magnitude of 10 megatons.
The whole process lasts only 600 billionths of a second

DAMAGES:
Four factors destructive due to explosion of a nuclear device:
wave of heat (up to 300 million degrees Celsius at the point of detonation);
shock wave;
emission of radiation (directly by the explosion and subsequent Radioactive Fall-out) effect
EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse), only discovered this from a number of nuclear tests of the early sixties.
Nuclear explosions can in turn be classified into five types: high-aero
: explosion in the stratosphere, with a strong release of particles alpha and beta and poor release of radiation range, but are stopped by the atmosphere, no harm to humans but are awarded a giant electromagnetic pulse (EMP, Electro Magnetic Pulse) that destroys all electronic equipment not protected by adequate shielding , are also reset the radio communications for a while because of problems ;
aero-low: explosion in the atmosphere a few hundred meters in height, with a strong release of alpha and beta particles and low release of gamma radiation, lethal within a radius of several kilometers in a short time. Poor fall-out;
surface: explosion on the ground, with a strong release of gamma particles, and poor release of alpha and beta particles, high fallout due to dust raised, heavily contaminated. Damage also type seismic things, but less immediate effects on people;
underground: no release of particles, which are shielded from the ground, and electromagnetic waves. Strong seismic wave, proportional to the power of the weapon. It is used primarily for testing nuclear weapons;
submarine.
