Question

Answer

The hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon that uses a mixture of fission and fusion to produce a massive explosion.
The nuclear fission generates enough heat to initiate the nuclear fusion reaction. After that, the nuclear fusion releases enormous amounts of energy, making the hydrogen bomb a lot more powerful than an atomic bomb.

Then, in 1952 and 1954, it detonated hydrogen bombs in the Marshall Islands. In 1954, the U.S. conducted further tests of the hydrogen bomb in the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
