  4. H Bomb Diagram The energy released by the primary compresses the secondary through the concept of "radiation implosion" which causes the secondary to react.

Ivy Mike • It was detonated on November 1, 1952 by the United States. • It was tested at the Enewetak Atoll. • It was considered the first successful test of a hydrogen bomb. • It was 20.3 feetin height and weighed about 54 tons. • Its nicknamed “Sausage” when it was all assembly. • The device was designed by Richard Garwin.
