Well, it's a matter of opinion really. Chernobyl let out 100 times more radiation out than Hiroshima and the radiation traveled all over Europe, contaminating many water supplies and has been reported to have been the cause of over 3 million children getting sick, however it has only killed about 4000 people. Hiroshima had less radiation and was less dangerous yet killed more people because it was dropped in such a densely populated area.
The nuclear bombs were dropped in World War 2 thus ending the war. It was on august 6 and 9 1945, when Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both on Japan lost one third of the population as the cause from the blasts.
August 1945 A bit more information. Aug 6 for Hiroshima and Aug 9 for Nagasaki.
being exposed to radiation could cause cancer.
On August 6 1945, Kokura was cloudy so Hiroshima was next.
The Soviet invasion of Berlin caused the end of the War in Europe and the nuclear payloads dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the conflict in the Pacific.
Upon impact, 70,000 people were killed instantly and another 70,000 injured. At that time, Hiroshima had a population of around 255,000. It's believed that there were around 140,000 deaths in total. Some died during the actual bombing and some died later from radiation poisoning, cancer, or leukemia.
The U.S. Dropped the Atomic Bombs on Japan because our president beleived that it would save lives in the long run. (especially American lives) Also no one knew the after effects that the radiation would cause because it was never tested over a long period of time. The reason We dropped them where we did and not any where else is because Hiroshima and Nagasaki (sorry on spelling if i messed up) had a large enough population to impact the Japanese but also had major war industries.

Radiation can cause sunburn, cancer, genetic mutation.
In Hiroshima was little boy and in Nagasaki was fat man.
Hiroshima - august 6 1945Nagasaki - august 9 1945For six months, the United States had made use of intense strategic fire-bombing of 67 Japanese cities. Together with the United Kingdom, and the Republic of China the United States called for a surrender of Japan in the Potsdam Declaration. The Japanese government ignored this ultimatum. By executive order of President Harry S. Truman, the U.S. dropped the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945,[1][2] followed by the detonation of "Fat Man" over Nagasaki on August 9. These two events are the only active deployments of nuclear weapons in war.[3] The target of Hiroshima was a city of considerable military importance, containing Japan's Second Army Headquarters, as well as being a communications center and storage depot.[4]During the final stages of World War II in 1945, the United States conducted two atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.The first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945The second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945On the morning of Monday, August 6th, 1945, (at about 8:15 a.m. local time) the United States Army Air Forces dropped the nuclear bomb "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, followed three days later (Thursday, August 9th at about 11:01 a.m. local time) by the "Fat Man" bomb dropped on Nagasaki.Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000-166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000-80,000 in Nagasaki,[5] with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day. The Hiroshima prefectural health department estimates that, of the people who died on the day of the explosion, 60% died from flash or flame burns, 30% from falling debris and 10% from other causes. During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness. In a US estimate of the total immediate and short term cause of death, 15-20% died from radiation sickness, 20-30% from flash burns, and 50-60% from other injuries, compounded by illness.[6] In both cities, most of the dead were civilians.[7][8][9]Six days after the detonation over Nagasaki, on August 15, Japan announced its surrender to the Allied Powers, signing the Instrument ofLittle Boy was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Consecutively, Fat Man was detonated over Nagasaki on the 9th.august 6 1945 and august 9 1945.American dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 5, 1945August 6th and 9th 1945The atomic bombs were dropped on August 6 and August 9, 1945 by the end of the stage of World War 2. This causes World War 2 to become the first nuclear war. The atomic bombs were dropped in Japan in the city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.August 6 and 9 of 1945.
