Recently the news of North Korea has successfully tested a Hydrogen bomb shook the world. a. Hydrogen bomb is at least twice more dangerous than the atom bomb of the same capacity/power. b. Neutron bomb causes less financial harm but more human loss. Which of the above two statements is/are correct? Correct Answer Only b

The correct answer is Only b.

Key Points

  • The hydrogen bomb has the potential to be 1,000 times more powerful than an atomic bomb, according to several nuclear experts. Hence statement a is not correct.
  • Neutron bomb causes less financial harm but more human loss. 
  • Hence the correct answer is Only b.

Additional Information 

  • A thermonuclear weapon, fusion weapon or hydrogen bomb (H bomb) is a second-generation nuclear weapon design. Its greater sophistication affords it vastly greater destructive power than first-generation atomic bombs, a more compact size, a lower mass or a combination of these benefits.
  • A nuclear weapon (also called an atom bomb, nuke, atomic bomb, nuclear warhead, A-bomb, or nuclear bomb) is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or from a combination of fission and fusion reactions (thermonuclear bomb).
  • A neutron bomb, officially defined as a type of enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a low yield thermonuclear weapon designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation in the immediate vicinity of the blast while minimizing the physical power of the blast itself.
  • The neutron release generated by a nuclear fusion reaction is intentionally allowed to escape the weapon, rather than being absorbed by its other components.
