ID: mark-26-nuclear-bomb

The Mark 26 nuclear bomb was an early thermonuclear weapon developed by the United States during the Cold War. Also known as the TX-26, it was part of a series of nuclear bombs that employed a two-stage thermonuclear design, which combines fission (nuclear splitting) and fusion (nuclear combining) processes to release a significantly higher amount of energy compared to purely fission bombs.
