Fusion produces no radioactive by products; however, if a fusion bomb explodes close to or on ground level; so soil is sucked up into the explosion, there will be radioactive fallout of the irradiated gound material.

Fission produces by products that are themselves radioactive. So, ground or not, there will be radioactive fallout. However, there will be more fallout if the bomb goes off and sucks up ground stuff.

the bi products of nuclear fission will always be netimes more harmfull than those of fussion as the products of fussion r not even radio active they r humble little elements like helium etc and r hardly of ny harm where as those of fission will always be radio active in most casses but if it finally decays into lead,which is not radioactive.
