Hundreds of millions of years of near zero atmosphere and the Sun bombarding particles has resulted in inches deep Tritium on most of the surface of the Moon. Tritium is a very rare heavy hydrogen isotope used for thermonuclear fusion.

So yes, blowing a fission bomb on the surface of the Moon might “ignite” the entire Moon into fusion reaction killing us all.

Tritium has a short half-life rapidly converting into helium. That is why we have to “refurbish” our nuclear weapons from time to time.
