China Reportedly Conducts Test of Non-Nuclear Hydrogen Bomb

The explosion of a 2 kilogram bomb (4.4 pounds) created a fireball with a temperature over 1,000 degrees Celsius (over 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit), which remained over 2 seconds - 15 times longer than the result of an equivalent TNT explosion, the South China Morning Post reported.

The Chinese scientists from the China State Shipbuilding Corporation’s (CSSC) 705 Research Institute reportedly used magnesium hydride as a storage material for solid fuel hydrogen

The newspaper specified that a hydrogen explosion can cause more thermal damage, as a fireball after an explosion lasts much longer.
