> Though usually omitted from public sources about H-bombs, including all of the sources I managed to find this morning with a bit of Googling, I remember hearing somewhere, years ago, that there is an extra component between the primary and the secondary that slows down hard X-rays to soft X-rays, because in the form of hard X-rays they would otherwise just go through the secondary without significantly interacting with it.

Could this component be a fogbank (http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2010/11/what-fogbanks-co...) just discussed on HN (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1928233)?
