Fusion pulse charge (Fallout 3)

The fusion pulse charge is a device used to detonate the nuclear bomb in Megaton. It is given to the Lone Wanderer by Mister Burke in Moriarty's Saloon. It is unknown how it works, but the name might suggest it sends some sort of pulse which activates a fusion reaction in the bomb and detonates it, resulting in a dirty bomb.

Detonator
The detonator of the fusion pulse charge is set up by Mister Burke on Allistair Tenpenny's balcony. With its characteristic glowing red button, it is used in order to activate the charge and detonate the Megaton bomb. Mister Burke gives the "honor of pushing the button" to the Lone Wanderer.

Appearances
The fusion pulse charge appears only in Fallout 3 as a quest item. Its detonator is a world object in the game, which may be used in The Power of the Atom quest. It does not appear in the Japanese version of the game. Though it no longer serves any purpose, this item is also found in the game files for Fallout: New Vegas.
