The first hydrogen bomb test was Ivy Mike on the island of Eugelab in Eniwetok atoll. The device was a cylinder 80 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter weighing over 500 tons. The yield was 10 megatons. Eugelab ceased to be an island and became a water filled crater. This crater was later used for other lower yield hydrogen bomb tests in other series.
Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands was used by the United States to test the hydrogen bomb in the 1950s. The tests resulted in widespread environmental and health impacts on the local population.

What is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb?
A traditional nuclear fission bomb is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb. The explosion from the fission bomb generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fusion reaction in the hydrogen bomb.
How is fusion used in a hydrogen bomb?
In a hydrogen bomb, fusion is used to release a large amount of energy through the fusion of hydrogen isotopes to create helium. This process, known as thermonuclear fusion, generates a massive explosion by harnessing the immense energy released during the fusion reaction. The process is initiated by a fission reaction that creates the high temperatures and pressures needed for fusion to occur.
Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes, an atom bomb works by atomic fission, which involves splitting the nucleus of an atom, releasing an immense amount of energy. This process is used in both atomic bombs and nuclear reactors.
Is the nuke bomb the biggest bomb?
No, a nuclear bomb is not the biggest bomb. The largest conventional bomb in terms of explosive yield is the MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast), also known as the "Mother of All Bombs." It is a non-nuclear bomb developed by the United States.
Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
What was the island of bikini atoll used for by the US?
Testing the Hydrogen bomb
What are arguments for and against the h bombings?
The H-bomb, or Hydrogen bomb, is a fusion bomb and has never been used except for test explosions. There have been no "h bombings."
Who was using the hydrogen bomb?
the hydrogen bomb has never been used in war
What is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb?
A traditional nuclear fission bomb is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb. The explosion from the fission bomb generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fusion reaction in the hydrogen bomb.
What country has launched a hydrogen bomb on another country?
None. The hydrogen bomb has never been used in war.
What is the principle used in the hydrogen bomb?
Nuclear fusion.
Was the hydrogen bomb used in a war?
no but it was almost in Vietnam
Is the hydrogen bomb still used today?
yes
What element is used to make a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, uses isotopes of hydrogen such as deuterium and tritium. These isotopes undergo fusion reactions to release a huge amount of energy, which is the principle behind the explosive power of a hydrogen bomb.
What element was used in the first h-bomb explosion?
Hydrogen, in the form of liquid deuterium and tritium isotopes. The test shot was the 1952 Ivy Mike device.
State a test for the presence of hydrogen?
The burning splint test is used to test for the presence of hydrogen. The symbol for hydrogen is H.
Which computer was used to design the first H-Bomb?
ENIAC was first used in calculations for the hydrogen bomb
