At the bottom of the color key in the Assembly section is a note that indicates the uranium tamper contributed up to 20 percent of the weapon's final yield. A paragraph following then seems to contradict this saying the uranium tamper contributed 30 percent. Is this a misread on my part, a broad approximation, or something else? Each seems to cite a difference source. Even if I misread it still seems confusing. Maybe this could be generalized into "20-30%" kind of compromise?

Checked both sources in case it was a typo. Both are correctly cited. But Wellerstein cites a more recent and comprehensive source, so used the 30% figure. Hawkeye7(discuss)23:54, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Edit request for the "Bombing of Nagasaki - Assembly" section
I propose the line "The cores were transported to North Field" in the first paragraph of this section should be changed to "The assemblies were transported to North Field". There was only one plutonium core involved, addressed earlier in the paragraph. This part refers to the three pre-assemblies with no fissile material, for which I believe the term "core" to be inaccurate. I'm making the request here due to the article being protected. 88.193.155.226 (talk) 05:17, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
