As the head of the nuclear weapons program, Zia personally came to the scene and witnessed this great moment.

The nuclear test has entered an irreversible process, and Iraq's first nuclear weapon, Guangming, has quietly stood in the very center of the underground nuclear test base.

This is a nuclear weapon made of uranium-235, Iraq has made painstaking efforts to produce enriched uranium with a concentration of more than 90 percent, but with nuclear raw materials, it is only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles, and the manufacture of a nuclear weapon requires not only raw materials used as fission fuel, that is, uranium-235 or plutonium-239, but also a trigger device, and a technology that can make most of the fuel fission before the explosion of a nuclear bomb. The biggest technical problem in the initiation device is the rational allocation of high-explosive charges. When the detonation is initiated, two conventional explosives, fast and slow burning, are detonated simultaneously in a millionth of a second, so that the internal nuclear reaction of enriched uranium exceeds the critical volume, forming a chain reaction to achieve a true nuclear explosion. If the timing error exceeds the above requirements, or the ratio of the two explosives is incorrect, the compression effect of a conventional explosion will be greatly reduced
