Suppose we have the technology to create high enough temperatures and pressures inside a confined space to fuse together deuterium and tritium, and create a Pure Fusion Bomb.
How would the explosion of this Pure Fusion Bomb differ from the explosion of a standard Nuclear Bomb that uses fissile materials?
I am assuming, ton for ton, the Pure Fusion Bomb would be more destructive. I am also assuming that a Pure Fusion Bomb would also produce a lot more neutrons than a normal Nuke.
Are my assumptions correct? I gathered them after reading this Wikipedia page on Pure Fusion Weapons.
Would both bombs produce a similar output of radiation? And would they both produce an electro magnetic pulse?
Just to clarify, I am not talking about a Fission - Fusion Bomb.
