A boosted fission weapon is a type of nuclear weapon that enhances the yield of its fission reaction through the use of a small amount of fusion fuel. In a typical fission bomb, the energy released comes primarily from nuclear fission, which is the splitting of heavy atomic nuclei (such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239) into lighter nuclei, releasing energy in the process.
