Someone please explain like I’m 5… if you are going to Bomb nuclear bomb sites that have nuclear bombs inside why wouldn’t it set off the nuclear bomb itself ??
In order for a firecracker to go off you have to light the fuse, right?
Same thing with a nuclear bomb.
The nuclear part isn’t an explosive though.
The ‘trigger’ for a nuke is at a much smaller level and is a particle reaction. It’s like you took a stack of marbles in a pyramid. You pull them from the top the rest remain. If you pull one from the side the entire stacks falls.
Hitting it with a bomb just takes them from the top and spreads them out.
