A final variant of the thermonuclear weapons is the enhanced radiation weapon, or neutron bomb which are small thermonuclear weapons in which the burst of neutrons generated by the fusion reaction is intentionally not absorbed inside the weapon, but allowed to escape. The X-ray mirrors and shell of the weapon are made of chromium or nickel so that the neutrons are permitted to escape. This intense burst of high-energy neutrons is the principle destructive mechanism. Neutrons are more penetrating than other types of radiation so many shielding materials that work well against gamma rays are rendered less effective. The term "enhanced radiation" refers only to the burst of ionizing radiation released at the moment of detonation, not to any enhancement of residual radiation in fallout

Simply it's the neutron bomb, designed to kill people not places. By using a massive (but short lived) radiation burst, it can slaughter everybody for miles (from radiation posining if not instant death by initial exposure) but the environment is completely safe to live in only a little while later.
As opposed to the dirty bomb which wrecks a place for millienia.

Simply put, its a term for a neutron bomb. Its a nuclear weapon designed to take out every single living organism within its effective blast radius yet leaves physical structures unharmed.
