atomic bomb survivors

Atomic bomb survivors are individuals who lived through the detonation of nuclear weapons, most notably during Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Exposure to the intense blast, heat, and radiation caused immediate injuries and long-term health effects, including increased risks of cancer and genetic damage. These survivors, often called "hibakusha," have contributed valuable scientific insights into radiation's impact on human health. Their experiences have also helped shape nuclear safety policies and promote global efforts to prevent nuclear warfare. Despite hardships, many continue to share their stories to foster awareness, peace, and nuclear disarmament.
