The first nuclear device ever dropped in combat was 'Little Boy' on Hiroshima on 6th August 1945.
The fissionable material the bomb was constructed of was 64kg of enriched Uranium 235.
Less than 1% of this U-235 went through nuclear fission, converting to energy, yet it directly killed over 65,000 people and injuring a similar number.
