Mark 36 nuclear bomb tamper-pusher which would undergo fission during the second stage fusion burn, doubling the weapon yield. Chuck Hansen wrote in Swords of Armageddon (1995) that Mark 36 nuclear bomb was produced in two yield versions, clean and dirty. He stated that clean version of Mark 36 had a yield of 6 megatons and that dirty version of Mark 36 had a design of maximum yield of 19 megatons.
