The first nuclear atomic bomb, known as "Little Boy," which was dropped on Hiroshima, contained uranium-235 as its fissile material. It used a gun-type design where two sub-critical masses of uranium were brought together to initiate a nuclear chain reaction. The bomb also included conventional explosives to compress the uranium and various mechanisms for detonation, such as a triggering device and safety features to prevent accidental detonation. Additionally, it had a casing to contain the explosion and facilitate the bomb's delivery.
