Most of the radiation and fallout was dispersed into the atmosphere within 2-4 weeks after the bomb was dropped. Many of the survivors are still very sick but as Hiroshima has a population well over 1 Million, it is a very safe and peaceful city.

Did Japan refuse to surrender after the bombing of Hiroshima?

No, Japan didn't immediately refuse after the bombing of Hiroshima. After the bombing, Emperor Hirohito (the Japanese leader during the Second World War) went into consultation with the Imperial War Council (of Japan) where they were deciding whether or not to surrender. However, three days after the bombing of Hiroshima, America bombed Japan again, this time in Nagasaki. Roughly a week after the Nagasaki bombing, Emperor Hirohito on 15 August 1945 announced surrender via radio broadcast. He officially surrendered in written agreement later that year on 2 September 1945.
