And due to that, height of detonation also (height of detonation is set pretty much by yield, bigger = higher). So wrong, but damn if it isn't what I'd have said as well.

No. but since this is probably too boring for most, go right ahead with the next one XD. (oh and schumi ski'd into something immovable...but somebody elses go) ETA: Little Boy (Hiroshima) had the larger (est) fatalities but was smaller 15kt. Fat Man (Nagasaki) 21kt, but fewer casualties. Presumably due to layout of population. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
En Passant 3,743 Posted August 24, 2018 Little Boy was Uranium and a gun type device. Fat Man was Plutonium and an implosion device. tl:dr Gun type is far simpler, was never tested, it didn't need to be. But it only works with uranium not plutonium. For plutonium you need an implosion, which is technically far more difficult, thus they tested it at Trinity. Further, the difficulty with uranium is separating enough 235 from the 238 they had mile long buildings to do this and still only had enough for one bomb, so no testing. Once you have a reactor (fermi) plutonium isn't that hard to get, but creating a nuclear detonation is far trickier than U235. ETA: Fuck that now looks like I'm going for the Sir Creep spamming award. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
