Nuclear Weapon Innovations

Nuclear weapon designs are physical, chemical, and engineering arrangements that cause the physics package of a weapon of mass destruction to detonate. There are three existing basic design types: 1. Pure fission weapons, the best and least technically demanding, were the primary nuclear weapons built and have up to now been the sole type ever employed in an act of war (over wartime Japan). 2. Boosted fission weapons increase yield beyond that of the implosion design by using small quantities of fusion fuel to reinforce the fission chain reaction. Boosting can quite double the weapon's fission energy yield. 3. Staged thermonuclear weapons are essentially arrangements of two or more "stages", most commonly two.
