Only dud?
[edit]The article states that this was the only dud of US thermonuclear weapon tests. What about Operation Redwing Yuma? Or was Yuma not thermonuclear? 74.205.176.202 (talk) 19:31, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Operation Redwing included nuclear and thermonuclear tests. Test Yuma was called a fizzle in the (current) Wikipedia article on Operation Redwing; it was described as an air defense warhead, 5 inches in diameter, 96 pound, linear implosion device, which sounds nuclear (atomic fission) rather than thermonuclear (atomic fusion). -- Naaman Brown (talk) 10:45, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
