A basic diagram of a thermonuclear weapon.
Note: some designs use spherical secondaries.

1. fission primary stage
2. fusion secondary stage

1. High-explosive lenses
2. Uranium-238 ("tamper") lined with beryllium reflector
3. Vacuum ("levitated core")
4. Tritium "boost" gas (blue) within plutonium or uranium hollow core
5. Radiation channel filled with polystyrene foam
6. Uranium ("pusher/tamper")
7. Lithium-6 deuteride (fusion fuel)^{[bô chhut-chhù]}
8. Plutonium ("spark plug")
9. Radiation case (confines thermal X-rays by reflection)
