Method used in Thermonuclear Compression of the secondary?
-
if foam slows ablation on outer case, why would it not also do so on thermo fuel?
My impression is that there are several ways to skin that cat.

as a point of differentiation between straight "radiation implosion" approaches.
-
thinking foam could act like a radiation tamper. Stop rad from bursting case. But rad still hits raw secondary?
-
like rad lens Slows ablation out but allows ablation inward secondary. Secondary carrot shaped uniform exposure?
-
So while we enshrine the Mike/Bravo approach as the "gold standard" in Teller-Ulam design, it is not the only path.

interesting secondary geometry & properties reference from Teller...pic.twitter.com/zPSGpdK2Gf

Teller always thought the cylinder was an "obvious" approach,

Thanks! Yes keep finding refs indicating Teller train of thought / Super influence...1/2pic.twitter.com/R7gjt9IqKq

2/2 but like u indicated spherical secondaries appears to be used in modern designspic.twitter.com/81v0L952bb

After the tests of the early 1960s someone (Bradbury?) suggested they start calling it "radiation engineering,"
