Green Bamboo was weapon in the British Yellow Sun family of nuclear weapons, a megaton-range gravity bomb. It was built but never test-fired.
While it was in the yield range characteristic of fusion devices, it is said to have been a layer cake (nuclear weapon) rather than a Teller-Ulam "true" thermonuclear device. [1]
