Detailed explanation-1: -The Hiroshima bomb was made from highly-enriched uranium-235. This was prepared by diffusion enrichment techniques using the very small differences in mass of the two main isotopes: U-235 (originally 0.7% in the uranium) and U-238, the majority.
Detailed explanation-2: -The fissile material for the Hiroshima bomb was uranium-235. Inside the bomb, the enriched uranium was divided into two pieces, both smaller than a critical mass.
Detailed explanation-3: -[4] Studies have also shown that the amount of exposure to radiation is the largest factor that contributes to the explanation of why there has been an increased incidence of leukemia within the victims of the bombing.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plutonium and uranium were used to create fuel for nuclear weapons. When nuclear bombs detonate, atoms split and release enormous amounts of energy through a nuclear reaction. Between 1944 and 1988, the United States built special reactors to make about 100 metric tons of plutonium for nuclear weapons.
