A thermonuclear bomb also called a hydrogen bomb, or H-bomb is a weapon whose enormous explosive power results from an "uncontrolled" self-sustaining chain reaction in which isotopes of hydrogen combine under extremely high temperatures to form helium in a process known as nuclear fusion.
A hydrogen bomb has never been used in battle by any country. But experts like OPPENHEIMER say, an H-bomb has the power to wipe out entire cities and kill significantly more people than the already powerful atomic bomb, which the U.S. dropped in Nagasaki and Hiroshima during World War II.
