thermonuclear

Tiny crystals of uranium could set off massive explosions within a dead star, physicists propose, making for a cosmic version of a thermonuclear bomb.

The stars form from pockets of cold gas that contract under their own gravity and ignite thermonuclear fusion in their centers.

If that strikes us as tiresome and tedious, we might as well just hang it up and trigger some global thermonuclear war.

There need to be perfect conditions for the thermonuclear reaction to take place.

Any deal is good in that it averts thermonuclear economic collapse.

The daily brief said nothing about widespread plutonium dispersal or about the lost thermonuclear bomb.

A second group worked to locate the lost thermonuclear bomb, called a “broken arrow” in Defense Department terms.

Larch put off another entertainment of small stuff, with a fifty megaton thermonuclear, viewscreen-piloted, among them.

In that year, too, tests were made at Eniwetok preliminary to the detonation of the first thermonuclear device.

Project Sedan, an underground thermonuclear detonation in 1962, established conditions for one such study.

Thermonuclear weapons, complemented over time by strong conventional forces, threatened societal damage to Russia.

It also included immersion in technology and systems from thermonuclear weapons to advanced weapons software.
