About Little Boy

Little Boy was a type of atomic bomb created by the Manhattan Project during World War II. The name is also often used to describe the specific bomb (L-11) used in the bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima by the Boeing B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay on 6 August 1945, making it the first nuclear weapon used in warfare, and the second nuclear explosion in history, after the Trinity nuclear test. It exploded with an energy of approximately 15 kilotons of TNT (63 TJ) and had an explosion radius of approximately 0.81 miles (1.3 km) which caused widespread death and destruction across the city. It was a gun-type fission weapon which used uranium that had been enriched in the fissile isotope uranium-235 to power its explosive reaction.
