How the fat man works
This type of bomb contains a core made out of
plutonium-239, and a compound of aluminum and beryllium. By
the use of conventional explosives, such as C4 or gunpowder, a chemical
reaction takes place. From the compression of the explosives, the core in the
center is compressed and releases neutrons creating a deadly
reaction.
