[edit] Summary

This drawing is a modification of the one uploaded by Dake with URL

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Fatman_inner1.png

The modification is actually a scanned copy of the John Coster-Mullen drawing on page 140 of the 2003 printing of his book, "Atomic Bombs," used with permission. It is colored and inserted into the Dake drawing. John Coster-Mullen's work is accepted and supported by other authors in this field including Richard Rhodes, Robert Norris, Carey Sublette, and Howard Morland.

The Dake drawing and the accompanying Kwantus drawing are based on information from Carey Sublette's nuclear weapon archive, which was formerly hosted at:

http://www.fas.org/nuke/hew

but is now hosted at:

http://nuclearweaponarchive.org

However, John Coster-Mullen's work is more recent, and is considered definitive. His sources include oral histories taken from soldiers and scientists who assembled the Fat Man bomb on Tinian Island in 1945. His Fat Man dimensions were used by Sculptor Jim Sanborn to produce an art installation titled "Critical Assembly" first displayed at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, November 2003 - January 2004.
