uranium bombs
Fissile material ordnance
Uranium bombs are nuclear weapons that derive their explosive force from the fission of uranium-235.
The first nuclear weapon used in warfare, dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, was a uranium bomb.
Unlike plutonium bombs, which require complex implosion triggers, uranium bombs can use simpler gun-type designs, making them a concern in nuclear proliferation.
