Put them together either too fast or too slow and you'll just get a fizzle, not a BOOM. As an aside, which would you find more unnerving: a detonated nuclear bomb...or a dud? If the former, would you volunteer to defuse the latter?
This question was posed to me once, years ago. I'd be interested in your answer.

A fizzle would *not* unnerve me. I fully expect to see a terrorist get a fizzle in my lifetime.
Yes, I have no problem volunteering to remove/de-fuse/demil whatever is left of a fizzle. Better me than someone younger, though I would insist upon the appropriate payback being delivered on my behalf. And depending upon how hot the fizzle, I might still be around to deliver some of that aforementioned payback.
