![]() Nuclear devices have been produced in many sizes and for many purposes. Another, even more powerful type of nuclear weapon, the fusion or hydrogen bomb, uses the energy released when nuclei of hydrogen are fuse or unite. One type of nuclear weapon, the fission bomb, uses the energy released when nuclei of heavy elements such as plutonium fission or split apart. The destructive power of nuclear weapons derives from the core of the atom, the nucleus.

Nuclear weapons are explosive devices that release nuclear energy.
