  • seade mingi kriitilisest massist väiksema hulga lõhestumiskõlbuliku materjaliga, mille mahtu kokkusurumise teel järsku vähendatakse nii, et see muutub ülekriitiliseks ja toimub plahvatus
  • a device in which a quantity of fissionable material, less than a critical mass, has its volume suddenly decreased by compression, so that it becomes supercritical and an explosion can take place
Good to know
  • Kokkusurumine saavutatakse eriliselt valmistatud ja sfääriliselt paigutatud tavalisest suurema lõhkevõimega lõhkeainest osade sissepoole suunatud kokkusurvelainega, kusjuures lõhestuv materjal on sfääri keskpunktis.
Good to know
  • The compression is achieved by means of a spherical arrangement of specially fabricated shapes of ordinary high explosive which produce an inwardly-directed implosion wave, the fissionable material being at the centre of the sphere.
