===Fusion Bombs===
Fusion bombs, also known as Thermonuclear bombs, derive their energy from the fusion of atoms, usually either [[deuterium]] or [[tritium]], which are [[isotope|isotopes]] of Hydrogen. Fusion of [[Hydrogenhydrogen]] to [[Heliumhelium]] is the same process which causes our sun and stars to shine.
A thermonuclear detonation is typically started with the ignition of a compression fission bomb, which through a series of steps depending on the particular bomb design, produces temperatures and pressures high enough to ignite the fusion reaction of either the tititum of tritium or deuterium at the core of the bomb.
