Atomic Rockets Link PDF write up (very dry and full of nasty equations)Basically its using chemical explosives (TNT and the like) to ignite a small thermonuclear charge the small scale device listed could be fired out of a M256 12cm smoothbore cannon and the big one could be fired out a 16" naval gun. No fallout and although a bigger then average radiation pulse (Neutron bombs work off high fusion precentages, this is fully fusion) while its not atomic bazooka's (real thing) basically everything that's not an autocannon or smaller could fire nuclear explosives with no long term fallout other then neutron embittermint of the surroding area (which fades and is not that radioactive) although the radiation pulse at yields over 100t TNT at the open end exceed 1000m and the other end has a burst of high energy plasma not disemmiler to a Casaba Howitzer (nuclear shaped charge) so depending on if you are attacking biological targets (people) or armoured targets (tanks, battleships) you would want to fire different ends of the device towards the target. It may or may not work, be cool if it did.

It may or may not work, be cool if it did. I don't think that this concept is anything new. Fatboy was designed around a high-explosive lens concept titled Implosion method. It was a central mass of plutonium around which conventional explosive were arrayed. to squeeze and force excess pressure on the mass of plutonium which then went critical mass and exploded. |

Hydrogen bombs, fusion weapons, are set off by an atomic fission bomb. The fission bomb implodes giving off x-rays. The atomic fission bomb used to ignite the hydrogen bomb uses conventional explosives like Fat Boy did. |
