Just a point of fact: Atom bombs are not implosion weapons.
Please read Wikipedia's page on radiation implosion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_implosion
Radiation implosion is the defining feature of Teller-Ulam thermonuclear
devices. In 1953 the United States government would have happily killed
to protect the secret of radiation implosion: fifty years later there's
a Wikipedia page on it.
Same concept, just elevated one level higher, using fission explosives
to trigger a fusion bomb just like the conventional explosives were
used to trigger a fission bomb in 1945. Still the explosion of the
weapon is not an implosion, only the detonator is.
Enjoy
