One cycle of fission takes 10ns, the explosion completes in about 1us, that gives 100 cycles of fission. Each fission releases 2 to 3 neutrons. Assuming that every neutron released in those 100 cycles triggers another fission and that the reaction is started by one neutron the range of fissions during the explosion is 2100 to 3100 fissions. This is 1.2676e+30 to 5.1537e+47 fissions. That is quite a few moles of fissile material.
