Fusion pulse charge (Fallout 3)

The fusion pulse charge is a unique quest item in Fallout 3.

Background
A custom-made detonator designed for a C-23 Megaton nuclear bomb. When activated, the charge unleashes a fusion pulse that triggers the explosives surrounding the nuclear core in the correct sequence, resulting in a nuclear explosion. It is designed to be triggered remotely using a separate briefcase detonator.

Characteristics
The quest item is received from Mister Burke during The Power of the Atom, with orders to install it in the bomb located in the heart of Megaton. Once installed, the player has to trigger it remotely from Allistair Tenpenny's penthouse balcony at Tenpenny Tower. If the player declines the offer, they never receive the charge. If they accept and then disarm the bomb, it remains in inventory and can be dropped.

As it's not meant to be dropped, the item does not have an unique world model and instead uses the one for scrap metal.

Location

 * Megaton, Moriarty's Saloon: Received from Mister Burke during the relevant quest.
