The appearance of the condensation after the passing of the shockwave was interesting to see.

Given the atomic bomb tested at Alamogordo was of the Plutonium type, why did the US use an untested enriched Uranium type device for it’s first atomic bomb dropped on Japan? Didn’t that risk an embarrassing failure of the first atomic bomb to be used in war?
