plutonium bomb

That bongo-playing physicist glimpsed at the Trinity plutonium bomb test in the New Mexico desert?

Atomic Bomb Pit No. 2 contained the plutonium bomb, Fat Man, that instantly killed 40,000 people in Nagasaki.

Fat Man, a plutonium bomb of the kind tested at Trinity, was used on Nagasaki on Aug. 9, and the end of World War II soon followed.

The plutonium bomb had been detonated on top of a 30-metre-high tower, which was laden with sensors and their cables.

In New York, and later in Los Alamos, New Mexico, he had surreptitious rendezvous with a Soviet agent to whom he handed detailed information, including the design for “the Gadget”, a plutonium bomb.
