Fission bombs require conventional explosives to create the conditions to start their nuclear reactions. By this logic, there is no such thing as nuclear weapons at all.
If you're trying to make the point that a fusion reactor is safer than a fission reactor I agree. The reason that we had fission power plant designs in the 50's, but are still a ways off from fusion power plants is that it takes a tremendous effort to keep a fusion reaction going. Any failure in a fusion power plant would most likely bring the reaction to an immediate halt. But saying that fusion bombs don't exist is just not accurate.
