Uranium = Hiroshima
Plutonium = Nagasaki
Not a vast difference in effect methinks ........
It was patently obvious I was discussing the relative technologies of the weapons, not the outcomes. And it is the technology, not the outcome, that is relevant in this discussion. So was this due to misunderstanding, or something else?

By comparison, Tokyo was more severely devastated and more people died there than either Hiroshima or Nagasaki, and no nukes were involved. So another totally different technology with a similar outcome.

Which begs the question: why all the outrage about Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Tokyo was far worse.
