Effect on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Fission bombs were first developed by the United States during World War II. America dropped two such bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, completely destroying those cities and bringing about Japan’s surrender and the end of that war. President Harry S. Truman’s decision to use the weapons remains debated to this day. Effects include immediate blast effects, thermal energy and radiation, initial nuclear radiation, and residual nuclear radiation. The immediate blast effect of the Hiroshima bomb was equivalent to about twelve thousand tons of the explosive TNT. infrared radiation that caused eye injuries and skin burns and ignited flammable materials. An estimated eighty thousand Japanese people immediately perished from the blast effects or initial heat radiation from the Hiroshima bomb. Do you feel the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki should have been used? Do you feel these nuclear bombs should be used during current wars and in the future?
