然而，遵循小巧即好的思维定式，军事规划者们已研发了运用类似原理且无须核爆的武器。

But, by thinking smaller, military planners have developed weapons that use a similar principle, without the need for a nuclear explosion.

核爆是最具毁灭力量的大规模杀伤武器。

Nuclear detonations are the most devastating of the weapons of mass destruction.

最终就形成热核爆炸，这也是摧毁目标的爆炸，但是如果计算机要非常可靠地测试核武器的设计，那么整个三个爆炸阶段都要被模拟。

The result, a thermonuclear explosion, is what destroys the target, but the entire three-stage process has to be mimicked if computers are to test weapon-designs reliably.
