Abstract
In this chapter we consider a nuclear explosion as a unique multistage physical phenomenon whose study is of interest to scientists of different realms of knowledge, particularly to experts in high energy density physics. In the first and second sections of this chapter we will study the former stageāthe initiation of a nuclear explosion. The last section of the chapter is dedicated to experiments in the generation and study of extreme states of matter with the use of intense shock waves driven by a nuclear explosion.
