Yes, "Fat Man" was part of the Manhattan Project. It was the code name for the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945. The bomb used plutonium as its fissile material and was developed alongside "Little Boy," the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Both bombs were a result of the extensive research and development efforts of the Manhattan Project during World War II.
MK-I Little Boy & MK-III Fat Man
It was built in Hiroshima as part of the Manhattan Project...DUH!!! NO! Not even close. To counter the astonishing lack of knowledge about this subject, a few quick facts: Fat Man and Little Boy were both built in Los Alamos New Mexico. Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima by the Enola Gay. Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki by the Bockscar. Manhattan Project was the code name of the research project, uranium and the first plutonium were produced at the Graphite Reactor in Oak Ridge Tennessee.
People at the Manhattan Project named it Fat Man and the other one was called Little Boy because of their size and shape.
The code name for the development of the atomic bomb known as "Fat Man" was part of the Manhattan Project. Specifically, Fat Man was developed at the Los Alamos Laboratory under the direction of J. Robert Oppenheimer. The bomb used a plutonium core and was the second atomic bomb dropped on Japan, following "Little Boy," which was a uranium-based bomb. Fat Man was detonated over Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.
There weren't 6 African scientists on the Manhattan project. They were all European or American. It was rare indeed for a black man to be allowed an education in those days. It is doubtful that any got so far as to achieve a PhD in physics or chemistry. It is certain that none were part of project Manhattan. ------------- The above comment is not true - African-American scientist J. Ernest Wilkins got a PhD in 1942 and from 1944 worked on the Manhattan Project in the University of Chicago's Met Lab.
MK-I Little Boy & MK-III Fat Man
The name of the project was called The Manhattan Project. The first designs were called "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" Little boy was dropped on Hiroshima and used nuclear fission from u235. Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki and used a plutonium core for is destructive power.

The uranium used in the "Fat Man" atomic bomb, which was detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, was primarily sourced from the Belgian Congo. The uranium was processed and enriched in the United States as part of the Manhattan Project. This project aimed to develop atomic weapons during World War II.
The general who directed the project responsible for the Fat Man atomic bomb was Leslie Groves. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1918. Groves played a crucial role in the Manhattan Project, overseeing its development and execution.
Julius Robert Oppenheimer Is often called "the father of the atomic bomb"He was the director of The Manhattan Project which created the bombs.

The "Fat Man" atomic bomb, dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945, had a yield of approximately 21 kilotons of TNT. This means that its explosive power was equivalent to that of 21,000 tons of TNT. The bomb's design utilized plutonium-239 and was part of the Manhattan Project during World War II.
