Well, the issue is that a Teller-Ulam design also has a second round of fission follow the fusion. A fission bomb compresses and heats hydrogen, which fuses. But that fusion generates fast neutrons that cause the U-238 tamper to fission. So it’s really a 3-stage fission-fusion-fission design.

Well pilots only wear those suits for rapid changes in direction - accelerating, decelerating, tight loops and turns. If this train sped up and slowed down relatively slowly while avoiding sharp turns, it shouldn’t be a problem. You should be able to walk around inside without any more of a problem than doing so on an…
