Okay so. Nuclear warfare is the exchange or use of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are incredibly powerful explosives. They come in two types fission bombs and fusion bombs. Fission are more common because they're easier to build.

The way they work is, uh. You need fissile material like uranium or plutonium and you basically use a conventional explosive to ram the fissile material into itself and create an ongoing nuclear reaction which creates a nuclear explosion.

Uh, does that make sense so far?
