I know you are dishonest and tragically stupid, but I never claimed that 70 years after the bomb was dropped, the city would still be a dead zone, you twit.
What I contested was YOUR contention that the radiation disappeared so swiftly that troops could have safely invaded there shortly after the bombs were dropped.
You are a tool, and you are dishonest, but you remain a jackass.
"Because Little Boy was an air burst 580 metres (1,900 ft) above the ground, there was no bomb crater and no local radioactive fallout."

It was not burst in the air under consideration for Japan, but because that's how you maximize damage from a nuke.
Eat my shorts Ilar.
Well, it is marginal, but at least I got you to look at a source. Wikipedia is pretty ******* lame, but let's run with it for now.
Yes, it was an airburst. And WHY it was an airburst is irrelevant.
And that an airburst tended to minimize radioactive fallout is not even disputed. But "minimization of" is not the "elimination of" fallout, you asshole.
Morons like you STILL wish to pretend that there was no increased radiation in Hiroshima after the smoke cleared. You are dishonest and/or ignorant.
All that said, I will agree that the time period in which the lethal radiation lingered is considerably smaller than most people would guess. But there was still a fairly high radiation level being measured several moths later.
At PRESENT, according to some information I have seen, the background radiation IN Hiroshima and Nagasaki is approximately the SAME as the normal background radiation level for the rest of the planet (excluding hotspots like Fukishima and Chernobyl).
