It is hard to comprehend what the immediate aftermath must have been like in Hiroshima. There were the grim tasks of collecting the bodies and burning them, of clearing the rubble and debris.
The United States contributed to much of Japan"s recovery by occuping it from 1945-1951. around the post war period, which was from 1945 to about
1955, many educational changes came about which had a positive affect on Japan because the more children that got educated in school.
In 1960 Hiroshima was concidered rebuilt but for the last 60 years everything constructed there simboles Hiroshima rebuilt again after the bombing.

What radiation do atomic bombs give of?
The radiation levels of atomic bombs vary according to the amount of radioactive elements put into the bombs or missiles and if they are actually used. Once the radioactive matter is inside the bomb housing the radiation levels are negligible but once one of the nuclear bombs is used then the variables come into play. (see related link below to see how complex it is) Consider this: the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 are 1/10th the killing power of today's nuclear missiles. If one modern nuclear missile were to be used today the bomb would be able to kill about a third of the world with the initial bomb blast and radiation fallout. The radiation level after Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not really measured until after the US occupied Japan. The Japanese leaders did not really understand the radiation fallout and poisonous danger and they did not use radiation detectors right after the blast. It is rumored the radiation levels were 100 times today's acceptable levels of radiation.
What was the blast radius of the Nagasaki atomic bomb?
See: Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Where was the location of a nuclear accident that pumped 50 times more radioactive material into the environment than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined?
Chornobyl or Chernobyl, is categorized as a city in northern Ukraine, in Kiev Oblast Province, near the border with Belarus. The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. It is the worst nuclear power plant accident in history and is the only level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. The effects of the disaster at Chernobyl were very widespread. The World Health Organization found that the radiation release from the Chernobyl accident was 200 times that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs combined. The fallout was also far-reaching. For a time, radiation levels in a Scotland were 10,000 times the norm. 30 lives were directly lost during the accident or within a few months after it. Many of these lives were those of the workers trying to put out the graphite fire and were lost from radiation poisoning.
How many people did Japan kill in World War 2?
Well, over 40,000 people died from radiation sickness over the decades. 140.000 died instantly, the combined number from both cities. There is a team of Japanese and Americans who are still studying and monitoring the effects and levels of radiation. They also keep track of the radiation related deaths. The Japanese made the mistake of rebuilding Nagasaki and Hiroshima soon after the blast. They did not understand you must not do that for at least 50 years. But, I can understand why they did. The island is small and they had something like 100 million people living on that mainland island and the small islands. I can't remember the name of the team doing the radiation studies.
How long was the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima?
"Little Boy" was the codename of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 by the Boeing B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbets of the 393d Bombardment Squadron, Heavy, of the United States Army Air Forces. Up to August 6th, occasional bombs, which did no great damage had fallen on Hiroshima. Many cities roundabout, one after the other were destroyed, but Hiroshima itself remained protected. There was almost daily observation planes over the city but none of them dropped a bomb. The citizens wondered why they alone had remained undisturbed for so long a time. There were fantastic rumors that the enemy had something special in mind for this city, but no one dreamed that the end would come in such a fashion as on the morning of August 6th. Perhaps a half-hour after the explosion, a procession of people began to stream up the valley from the city. Toward noon, our large chapel and library are filled with the seriously injured. The procession of refugees from the city continues. Soon comes news that the entire city has been destroyed by the explosion and that it is on fire.
How high are the radiation levels in japan?
They are high enough to be concerned about in the immediate area around the reactors, but as compared to Chernobyl, they are minuscule. It fades to insignificance compared to the radiation caused by the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

How much harmful radiation existed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the explosion?
Radiation levels were sufficiently high enough to be directly involved in thousands (estimates vary) of subsequent deaths as the radiation affected the human body in a variety of ways such as leukemia and a variety of cancers . John Hershey's book "No High Ground" chronicles these events . See related links below .
What was the blast radius of the Nagasaki atomic bomb?
See: Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Is there hair loss after nuclear medicine?
No. If you are considering hair loss as the result of high levels of radiation dose, nuclear medicine scans don't give anywhere near enough radiation to cause that. In fact, most common nuclear medicine scans deliver less radiation than a CT scan.
Is there still radiation from the atomic bomb that hit Hiroshima?
Yes, low levels of radiation. Perhaps a few times that of "normal background" levels. Almost all of this is Alpha from the unfissioned Uranium, only about 1% to 2% of the Uranium in Little Boy actually fissioned. Alpha particles can be completed shielded by a single sheet of paper, however accidental ingestion of Alpha emitting material is dangerous. Most of the Beta and Gamma emitters decayed to nearly undetectable levels decades ago.
