Detailed explanation-1: -During the early years of the Cold War, the United States developed and fielded a hydrogen bomb in the face of repeated military and political provocations by the Soviet Union. The explosion of a Soviet atomic device in 1949, in fact, gave major impetus to the US hydrogen bomb project.
Detailed explanation-2: -On November 22, 1955, the Soviet Union exploded its first true hydrogen bomb at the Semipalatinsk test site. It had a yield of 1.6 megatons. This began a series of Soviet hydrogen bomb tests culminating on October 23, 1961, with an explosion of about 58 megatons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Simply speaking, experts say a hydrogen bomb is the more advanced version of an atomic bomb. “You have to master the A-bomb first, ” Hall said. An atomic bomb uses either uranium or plutonium and relies on fission, a nuclear reaction in which a nucleus or an atom breaks apart into two pieces.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Soviet Union detonated its first atomic bomb, known in the West as Joe-1, on Aug. 29, 1949, at Semipalatinsk Test Site, in Kazakhstan.
