If you don't believe that fission bombs are real, then how can you believe hydrogen bombs are real?I am no expert in nuclear physics so I could be totally wrong. But I doubt it.
They(nukes and nuclear plants) are two completely different things. But to me looking at the evidence it seems A LOT more logical that nukes do not really exist. The Hiroshima and Nagasaki footage looks like carpet bombing. Not nuclear explosions. The old footage of Nuclear tests look funny and absurd now so many years later. Obviously manipulated, many of them using the Sun, many of them using tiny models etc. With todays technology small tactical "nukes" should be easy to make. No terrorist organization ever used one. It all smells like BS. And again - I could be wrong.
Hydrogen bombs on the other hand are real. And the science is pretty straightforward (from my limited knowledge).
Thermonuclear Hydrogen bombs require a fission bomb as the primer to initiate fusion.
unless you're talking about fuel air type bombs?
If talking about thermonuclear hydrogen bombs, it is the same physics involved in both types of explosion, (as well as in nuclear plants)
In one, mass is converted to energy upon fission of uranium/plutonium (either in a critical or supercritical reaction), and in the other mass is converted to energy upon fusion of tritium/deuterium.
Tactical nukes are a possibility but far from a simple one as todays technologies don't make the physics easier and there is a minimum size it must be.
Namely a critical mass must be achieved by a combination of fissile material and shaped high explosive charges timed to within microseconds.
The timing might be more accessible with todays technology, but the fissile materials are incredibly heavily controlled and exceedingly difficult to process.
The smaller the fissile mass the more difficult it is to achieve critical mass.
The big concern for terrorism, is in making a place uninhabitable with a "dirty bomb" which can be just a conventional explosive spreading radioactive material in a broad area. This is why radioactive waste is heavily controlled and guarded.
somewhere above, there was a comparison of Hiroshima to Chernobyl.
For comparisons sake, Hiroshimas bomb had 64Kgs of enriched uranium of which 1kg underwent fission. Less that 1 gram of mass was converted into energy, and the explosion sent that 0.999 kg of fission products (and the 63kgs of low radioactive uranium) across the city.
Chernobyl had no nuclear explosion, but it spread the equivalent of thousands of Hiroshimas worth of radioactive particulate and gasses over the countryside every minute for weeks on end.
For evidence of atomic bombs in action, one can checkout the Bikini Atoll videos and stories of people who were displaced. Levels there are down to ~10-80mrem or so, but still far higher than I'd want to be for any length of time.
