BTW, the #1 hit show on the radio on this date was Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. A ventriloquist and his dummy. On the radio.
"Most sources" in this case would include the history books and the exhibits at the museum in Nagasaki. You could start with Wikipedia and follow their links.

If you were to count factory workers and mobilized students you could get 5000, but if you did the same methods of counting in Hiroshima it would exceed that number, making the first bomb a bigger "shot."
If you find your notes later and can point to some sources, I'd be interested to read them.
