And please continue your extensive use of zero sourcesK go make things up in another thread.Oh there was high radiation levels several months later? What level was it?"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."
Little Boy - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
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 fucking 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).
2 months after the bomb was dropped there were tens of thousands of American troops occupying both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. None of the troops had any issues with radiation.

Now if you're going to plug your ears and whine again just say you're not interested in learning anything and we can't stop this dance.
Yes. High levels several months later. You can cherry pick whatever tidbits of propaganda you wish. But your sources are a bit biased since the US was busy trying to convince the world that the two bombs they had unleashed were not "as" dangerous as some folks were then being led to believe.
The fact is, you hack, if you had the capacity to notice it: I was actually in partial (limited) agreement with some of what you have said.
But, my dance card is full, and going further with your bleating nonsense is not on the agenda.
No. Again, I leave that kind of shit to you. And by all means, when pressed, please make extensive use of wikipedia.
