'''Fat Man''' was the name given to one of the two types of [[atomic bomb]]s first produced at [[Los Alamos]].
Fat Man had a radioactive core of [[plutonium]]. The bomb ignited through the "implosion method," whereby the explosives surrounding the plutonium exploded, setting off a shock wave that compressed the plutonium so much that it set off a nuclear explosion.
Fat Man bombs were used at [[Trinity]] and [[Nagasaki]].
