Hydrogen bomb created by sunlike fusion at Eniwetok tests
The first hydrogen bomb was exploded at the Atomic Energy Commission’s Eniwetok proving ground in the Pacific as the United States advanced from atomic to thermonuclear weaponry. The report traces how fusion in stars differs from man made fusion, the role of tritium, and the shift from fission to fusion energy, noting Truman’s 1950 decision to pursue H bomb development and the subsequent Eniwetok test.
