Also, it is utterly false to assert that a neutron bomb does not explode. It does, and usually has at least a 10-15kt yield, which is a pretty big boom.

The difference is that the tamper is different and neutron-transparent, and secondary fusion material, which is absent.

So it's a small nuke with lots of neutrons, but it does go BOOOOM.
