The heat developed drives them apart prematurely, and the reaction stops. In the bomb described in the Smyth Report, the masses were driven together, probably in millionths of a second, by some such "low-order explosive" as TNT. Even if the Russians did not do as well as U.S. scientists, their less efficient bomb would still produce an "atomic explosion...
