Hiroshima Today
🌸
Remember that Hiroshima and Nagasaki are thriving today,
and it has only been 77 years. WHY?
77 years ago atomic bombs fell, contaminating Hiroshima and Nagasaki with radioactive particles that should have made those cities uninhabitable for thousands of year.
The atomic bomb that detonated over Hiroshima used Uranium-235,
while the Nagasaki bomb had Plutonium-239.
🌸
The half-life of U-235 is 703,
703 800 000 million years,
🌸
while that of Pu-239 is
24,100 years
🌸
In other words, once on the ground, they will be there for a very long time.
I asked for and received several pages from the Hiroshima Peace Museum regarding this issue.
"Today, the background radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is the same
as the average amount of natural radiation present anywhere on Earth."
It is not enough to affect human health.
But, Little Boy over Hiroshima was only about 1% efficient,
so what happened to the 139 pounds of the U-235 that were particularized?
From all reports, the plume dissipated over land and sea.
Same for Nagasaki and the 12 pounds of Pu-239 particles.
There was a slight increase of leukemia in the Nagasaki region, but no additional incidence of cancers anywhere in and around Hiroshima.
Thus, contrary to any kind of logical sense, the nuclear explosions immediately
killed 200,000 people,
these cities soon became safe, and are thriving today.
🌸
We can wonder why?
🌸
But with respect to the relative long-term danger of nuclear power plants versus ATOMIC BOMBS, another article mentioned that there is a lot more fissionable
material in the former compared to the latter.
For example, a 1000 MW reactor uses 50,000 pounds of enriched uranium/year and produces 54,000 pounds of waste, which keeps accumulating, so in a 20-year period, there should be more than a million pounds of radioactive material on site. Little Boy had only 141 pounds of U-235, while Fat Man used 14 pounds of Pu-239.

Naturally-occurring background radiation is the main source of exposure for most people.
Levels typically range from about 1.5 to 3.5 millisievert per year
but can be more than 50 mSv/yr.
