Fat Man

Fat Man was the codename for the atomic bomb dropped by the United States on Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945, during World War II. It was the second nuclear weapon used in warfare, following the bombing of Hiroshima. Unlike the first bomb, which used uranium, Fat Man used plutonium as its core material and was designed as an implosion-type device. The explosion caused devastating destruction, resulting in significant loss of life and contributing to Japan's surrender, effectively ending the war. This event marked a pivotal moment in history, highlighting the power and consequences of nuclear weapons.
