A-bomb Fat Man
A-bomb " Fat Man", an atomic fission bomb of the type dropped over Nagasaki, Japan on August 9th 1945. It was this act, along with a similar attack on Hiroshima, that forced the surrender of Japan on September 2nd of that year. The device consisted of a slightly subcritical mass of plutonium encased by explosives. The firing of these charges caused compression of the fissionable material and so rendered it supercritical. Hence this was called the implosion method. The ensuing nuclear chain reaction released vast amounts of energy; despite weighing under 5 tonnes it had a yield equivalent to 20, 000 tonnes of high explosive

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the infamous "A-bomb Fat Man" an atomic fission bomb that forever changed the course of history. Dropped over Nagasaki, Japan on August 9th, 1945, this devastating weapon, along with a similar attack on Hiroshima, ultimately led to Japan's surrender on September 2nd of that year. The image captures the sheer power and destruction contained within this technological marvel. Composed of a subcritical mass of plutonium encased by explosives, it utilized the implosion method to trigger a nuclear chain reaction. The resulting release of energy was nothing short of cataclysmic – despite weighing under 5 tonnes, its yield equaled a staggering 20,000 tonnes of high explosive. In this photograph, we see an adult Caucasian male standing beside this historical artifact at White Sands Missile Range in North America. His presence highlights both the physicality and magnitude behind such advancements in warfare technology. As we reflect upon this momentous event in human history, let us remember not only the destructive power unleashed but also the scientific ingenuity behind it. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our capacity for innovation and its potential consequences when harnessed for destruction rather than progress.
