The nuclear weapons were developed in the Manhattan Project. The development took years of research and work to learn how to produce Uranium 235 and Plutonium, and how to fabricate them into a bomb. The Uranium bomb, known as Little Boy, used a gun system to fire a plug of uranium into a larger target of uranium. The Plutonium bomb, known as Fat Man, was a round ball of plutonium that was crushed by explosive charges. The link below will take you to an article on the Manhattan Project.


What happens when plutonium fuses with uranium to make a bomb?

When plutonium fuses with uranium in a nuclear bomb, a chain reaction occurs that releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation. This energy causes an explosion, resulting in immense destruction and a significant release of harmful radiation.
