Introduction. The atomic bomb survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are a significant population for the study of radiation induced human leukemia. Whole body irradiation is most likely the cause of the leukemia caused by the atomic bomb radiation.[1] Follow-up of Japanese adult survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have revealed abnormally high rates of cancer, persistent chromosomal aberrations in circulating lymphocytes, and lenticular opacities.3] Finally, children of atomic bomb survivors, who received exposure in utero ionizing radiation, had diminished stature, small head size, mental retardation, and subsequent seizures. [3] Study of the aforementioned groups has provided essential knowledge on the health effects of atomic bomb radiation.
In August of 1945, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These bombs were intended to cause Japan to surrender to the allied forces and to bring about the end of WWII. As a result of direct exposure to these bombs, over 200,000 people died.ifferent types of bombs were used on the two cities. The bomb used on Hiroshima, a uranium bomb, was nicknamed Little Boy. It measured 120 inches in length, 28 inches in diameter, and weighed 9,000 pounds. The Nagasaki bomb, nicknamed Fat Man, was a plutonium bomb.
