Detailed explanation-2: -The uranium bomb detonated over Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 had an explosive yield equal to 15, 000 tonnes of TNT. It razed and burnt around 70 per cent of all buildings and caused an estimated 140, 000 deaths by the end of 1945, along with increased rates of cancer and chronic disease among the survivors.

Detailed explanation-3: -Is there still radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki today is on a par with the extremely low levels of background radiation (natural radioactivity) present anywhere on Earth. It has no effect on human bodies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Radiation most increased the risk of leukemia among survivors, followed by cancer of the stomach, lung, liver, and breast. There was little impact on cancers of the rectum, prostate, and kidney.

Detailed explanation-5: -After the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, residual radiation was left behind but this declined rapidly. According to the city of Hiroshima local government website, research has indicated that 80 percent of residual radiation was emitted within 24 hours of the bombing.
