  1. The first staged hydrogen bomb was developed by a team at Los Alamos, NM in 1952. It was not a practical bomb as it used cryogenic liquid deuterium-tritium and required a refrigeration system larger than itself to keep it cold.
  2. The first practical "hydrogen" bomb was developed by a team at Arzamas-16 in the USSR in 1953. It used dry lithium deuteride, however did not use staging like the 1952 US bomb did so its yield was limited. It was likely done mostly for Propaganda purposes. In modern terminology it would be considered a dry boosted fission bomb, not a fusion (hydrogen) bomb.
  3. The first practical staged hydrogen bomb was developed by a team at Los Alamos, NM in 1954. It used dry lithium deuteride.
  4. The second practical staged hydrogen bomb was developed by a team at Arzamas-16 in the USSR in 1955. It used dry lithium deuteride.
In the US the key central concepts of the hydrogen bomb were developed by Stanislaw Ulam and Edward Teller, in the USSR the same concepts were developed by Andre Sakharov.
