In the end, it gave somewhere drama around 20 kt (80 TJ), 2 to 4 times the expected yield. The Soviet drama Union's first nuclear weapon detonated at Operation First Lightning (known as "Joe 1" in the West) was more or less a purposeful copy of the "Fat Man" device, on which they had obtained detailed information from the spy Klaus Fuchs. [edit] The Bombing "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" were flown from the United States controlled island of Tinian in the Northern Mariana Islands, to where they would eventually rest in Japan. Immediately after the bombings of Japan, the United States produced a technical history of the Manhattan Project, known as the Smyth Report, that did not disclose the information that the "Fat Man" device was different from the "Little Boy" device, and did not imply that a different method was required for plutonium weapons. |

| It is theoretically possible to build a plutonium gun-type device, but it would need to be 19 feet long in order to allow the sub-critical masses to be fused into a critical mass before a fizzle occurs. The mass of a plutonium gun-type device would have been beyond editors the payload of the B-29. After this problem was realized in 1943, work editors began in earnest on the implosion bomb, the "Fat Man". The gun-type method could still be used for highly-enriched uranium, though, and was employed in the "Little Boy" weapon which was editors used against Hiroshima, Japan. For a variety of reasons, the implosion method is both more efficient than the gun-type method, and also far safer, as a perfect synchronization of the explosion lenses is required for the core to properly detonate, greatly reducing the chances of an accidental nuclear detonation. The "Trinity" device was similar to the "Fat Man" bomb. Because of its complicated firing mechanism, and the need for previously untested synchronization of explosives and precision design, it was felt that a full test of the concept was needed before the scientists and military representatives could be confident it would perform correctly under combat conditions. |
