The test was of an implosion-design plutonium bomb, nicknamed the "gadget", of the same design as the Fat Man bomb later detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945. Concerns about whether the complex Fat Man design would work led to a decision to conduct the first nuclear test.
NUKEMAP is a mapping mash-up that calculates the effects of the detonation of a nuclear bomb.
A screenshot from NUKEMAP, showing the effects of the first hydrogen bomb ever tested, had it been detonated on the island of Manhattan. The fallout plume is visible, and the fatalities and injuries are calculated in the many millions.
