Just a point of fact: Atom bombs are not implosion weapons.  One of the 
two 1945 designs used an implosion detonator where large amounts of 
ordinary explosives crushed a specially shaped nuclear "core" to trigger 
its explosion in ways that humanity should better forget how to do.  
This makes it as much an implosion weapon as a six shooter is a 
percussion weapon (it does use a percussive hammer to make the cartridge 
load detonate).
