[edit] Uranium Bomb

I have read that the uranium bomb also used an initator that was added to the design at the last minute (as a backup - since the uranium design doesn't really need an initator). Does anyone know if it was also named Urchin or was there some other name for the initiator used in the uranium bomb?

A different initiator (code named ABNER) was used for the Little Boy bomb. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smulthaup (talk • contribs) 05:01, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I removed the whole Description section because, apart from a few words at the beginning, and one hyphen, it was identical to text from http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Nwfaq/Nfaq8.html#nfaq8.1.1 which has this clear copyright notice:
