An atomic bomb codenamed "Fat Man", an plutonium bomb guided by gravity. Casualties of the atomic bomb range in the several hundred thousands; further casualties by uranium poisoning often vary.
With a power of 18 kilotons (in TNT terms), it created a 1km radius fireball, causing total destruction for several kilometers in circumference.
Unfortuneately however, this destruction is only a FRACTION of the total energy output by the nuclear fission of plutonium atoms; the full output would be several 10 times stronger.
Ironically, Nagasaki was never meant to be a primary target of American Nuclear bombs; the American army intended to use the "fat man" bomb against the great arsenal city Kokura. However, foggy weather cause the pilot to avoid Kokuro and launched the nuclear bomb at the secondary target city (Nagasaki)
