For anyone interested in the basics of nuclear weapons, I highly recommend the "Nuclear 101: How Nuclear Bombs Work" lectures by Matthew Bunn, a man heavily involved in nuclear arms control.

His lectures are always highly entertaining, a real pleasure to watch.

This is a clip from his lecture explaining the basics of thermonuclear warheads:

And the full “Nuclear 101” lecture, in two parts:
