American and Soviet H-bomb development programmes: historical background


All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Physics — Federal Nuclear Centre, prosp. Mira 37, Sarov, Nizhny Novgorod region, 607190, Russian Federation

The genesis and historical background of the hydrogen bomb are described, with particular emphasis placed on the development of the physical ideas which led to the discovery of the basic principle of thermonuclear charge construction in the USA and USSR.
