The meson bomb was a proposed nuclear weapon that would derive its destructive force from meson interactions with fissionable material like uranium.[1] The idea behind the bomb was rejected by most scientists, but during the Cold War, American intelligence managed to trick the Soviet Union into conducting research on this topic, which resulted in several years of wasted labor by one of the Soviet nuclear weapon research bureaus.[citation needed]
