Description
Modern nuclear weapons are of the thermonuclear type. For a thermonuclear reaction to take place, two nuclei must be brought sufficiently close together, in other words their repulsion potential must be overcome, so that they merge by fusion to form a heavier nucleus, a reaction which is also exothermic.
