Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc./Kenny Chmielewski This infographic describes the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, one of the The atomic bombing of The bomb The bomb was deployed by a B-29 bomber named Bockscar. The B-29 Bockscarspent 45 minutes over Kokura (northeast of Nagasaki, about halfway between Hiroshima and Nagasaki) without sighting its aim point. It then proceeded to its secondary target, Nagasaki, where the second atomic bomb to be detonated over a populated area was airburst at 500 meters (1,650 feet) above the city. The bomb, named Fat Man, was an implosion fission bomb. In an implosion bomb a sphere of plutonium-239 is surrounded by high explosives that compress the plutonium. The explosive yield was estimated to be the equivalent of 21,000 tons of TNT. Although the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was significantly more powerful than the one droppedon Hiroshima, Nagasaki’s uneven terrain meant that a significant portion of the city was shielded from the worst effects of the blast. Casualties The population of Nagasaki in July 1945 was 195,290. Approximately 40,000 people, or 20% of the total population, were killed outright or shortly after the blast. Approximately 70,000 people, or 36% of the total population, were dead by year’s end. Approximately 40% of the buildings were completely destroyed or severely damaged. Radiation injury symptoms General effects of radiation injury included confusion, convulsions, weakness, and fatigue. Other symptoms included hair loss, inflam...
