The second US nuclear weapon, used against the city of Nagasaki, Japan on August 9, 1945, was called "Fat Man" for its shape. It used plutonium-239 as its fissioning material, as did the Trinity nuclear device, tested at Alamagordo NM on July16. (see related question)

∙ 15y agoThe United States' Manhattan Project developed the first nuclear weapon. The first bomb was detonated as a test shot in New Mexico in the so-called Trinity test. The first nuclear weapon deployed was the Little Boy, which was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. Following that, the Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. The second bomb is either the Little Boy or the Fat Man, depending on how you wish to number them. Either by the order in which they were created and detonated, or by the order in which they were deployed against actual "targets" in the field.
