The first bomb exploded, the Trinity test bomb, used plutonium.
The first bomb deployed, dropped on Hiroshima, used uranium 235.
The second bomb deployed, dropped on Nagasaki, used plutonium 239.
Any heavy radioactive element can be used. Like uranium.
Uranium-235 (U-235).
either uranium or plutonium may be used in fission bombs, hydrogen and/or lithium may be used in fusion bombs.
The fissile fuel in the first 3 bombs was:Plutonium, Trinity test, July 16, 1945Uranium, Hiroshima attack, August 6, 1945Plutonium, Nagasaki attack, August 9, 1945Trinity test Gadget: Plutonium. First atomic bomb detonation.Hiroshima Little Boy: 80% enriched Uranium. First atomic bomb used in combat.Take your pick.
The little boy atomic bomb used on Hiroshima contained Uranium-235. The Fat Man atomic bomb used on Nagasaki contained Plutonium.
The element first used for fission in an atomic bomb is uranium.
they used uranium and plutonium.
Plutonium was used in the Trinity test, Uranium in the first combat weapon.
Both uranium and plutonium were used extensively to make the first two atomic bombs, dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively.
Any heavy radioactive element can be used. Like uranium.
A- bomb stands for Atomic Bomb, first tested and used in WWII.
Apparently it was plutonium which I think is element 295.Plutonium is element 94.Plutonium was used in the Gadget at Trinity.Uranium was used in the first bomb dropped on Japan the Little Boy at Hiroshima.Plutonium was used in the second bomb dropped on Japan the Fatman at Nagasaki.
Uranium-235 (U-235).
First hydrogen bomb then nuclear missiles but they are never used because of the dropping of the atomic bombs on japan...
the bomb was nicknamed "Little Boy", and it used the element of uranium-235.
The first atomic bomb used against mankind exploded at 8.15 over Hiroshima.
August 1945
