Fission, fusion, and FFF-Fission-Fusion-Fission. Fission takes big atoms and splits them in an avalanche reaction. Fusion takes small atoms and squashes them to make bigger atoms. To date all fusion bombs take a fission bomb to get the party started. a 3F bomb uses a fissionable case around a Fission/fusion bomb to suck up the extra neutrons to split the atoms in the outer case around the bomb. If you take the DU armor off a M1A2 Abrams tank and stick a neutron bomb at the center you might get a poor boy's 3F bomb. Dirty bombs take a radioactive material and disperse it into a target area. radio cobalt(60), and cesium, are the strongest emitters that can be found in quantities that are attractive to the process, but cobalt is hard to react into a cloud, while the cesium burns when exposed to water. If placed up wind and a modest amount of explosive is detonated after it reacts with the water, a fair airisol will be dispersed.
