An atomic bomb exploded over the Urakami district of Nagasaki at 11:02
a.m., August 9, 1945. A half a century has passed since that second nuclear
calamity in human history, but the end of the nuclear age remains stubbornly
out of sight. On the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the atomic bombing,
the Scientific Data Center for the Atomic Bomb Disaster reorganized the
information on the medical effects of the atomic bombing -particularly
the late effects of exposure to radiation- assiduously compiled by researchers
since the restoration of the former Nagasaki Medical College. The information
displayed here was chosen to give viewers a brief but comprehensive introduction
into the effects of nuclear weapons.
We hope that you will grasp the impact of the atomic bomb on the human
body and that you will join us in striving to ensure that Nagasaki is the
last place on earth to suffer the effects of a nuclear explosion.
