Cold war files show UK fear of US H-bomb

Couple of problems with this article:<p>1. The atomic bomb didn&#x27;t end the war with Japan; an impending Russian invasion did. Japan preferred surrendering to America first while they still had some bargaining power left (plus they hated the Russians). Dropping a couple of big bombs on some secondary cities was nothing compared to the devastation of major metropolitan centers from the firebombing campaign.<p>2. The UK&#x27;s primary worry was that the USA would once again become isolationist like it usually does, which would leave the UK alone to contend with a very powerful neighbor that could push them around now that Germany was divided and France essentially impotent. The H bomb was simply a demonstration of how powerful (and thus influential) a nation could get. The UK&#x27;s &quot;special relationship&quot; with America is a diplomatic consequence of this worry.

The title &quot;Cold war files show UK fear of US H-bomb&quot; is quite misleading. The UK feard that the Russians would attack them with hydrogen bombs. Can&#x27;t see where the US fit into this, except for pioneering the hydrogen bomb, but that doesn&#x27;t make all hydrogen bombs US bombs.<p>When we are on the topic of the UK and atomic bombs. This is a great article from the archive: &quot;British nukes were protected by bike locks&quot; - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.bbc.co.uk&#x2F;2&#x2F;hi&#x2F;7097101.stm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.bbc.co.uk&#x2F;2&#x2F;hi&#x2F;7097101.stm</a>

Curious why thorium and heavy water are necessary for H-bombs. I&#x27;m more familiar with reactors than bombs but from that perspective, heavy water is a moderator, which you don&#x27;t need with the highly-enriched fissile in bombs, and thorium isn&#x27;t fissile, but can be turned U-233 which is fissile but not something we actually use in bombs, or need if we have U-235 or plutonium.
