Radiation from atomic bomb?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

How does the radiation from the atomic bomb in Japan compare to Chernoble?

Are there still areas in Japan with high radiation from it?

 

[Heisenberg]

The levels around Chernobyl are much higher than those in Japan, but Chernobyl happened much more recently. I'm not sure how the levels compared right after each event, but I suspect Chernobyl was higher.

If i remember correctly most of the raioactive material was buried and sits under Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both hit with 4kilotonne atomic bombs. The radiation was devastating.

Radiation doesn't go away in a few decades.

Over a million People live in Hiroshima today. When they dropped the bomb, they thought it would probably be contaminated for hundreds of years.
Chernoble is still a very very nasty place where only hot russian chicks on fast motorcycles go through.

The radiation has mostly dispersed. That is why people has been living there for the past half century.

The Chernobyl disaster spewed out 90 times the radiation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Combined...

And before any crying pacificist come in the thread whining about nuking Japan, the Japanese deserved it. They deserved it for their brutality, cruelness, and basic inhumanity against other people.

Well, they seem to kill the sh!t out of the people of America via car bombs & airplanes, so I'm guessing they hate the people of America. Plus that whole thing with the override and melting down our nuclear power plants.

Ask any Korean, Chinese, Filipino, etc who was alive back then. Not one of them will say they felt any pity to the Japanese. Not after what they did. Treating humans as lab rats, slaughtering entire cities, enslaving women and children for "pleasure." Eye for an eye is a bit crude, but as my grandfather (who fought against the Japanese) said, "It felt good."

Note
I have nothing against modern Japanese people. They had nothing to do with it, so I have no reason to hate them.

Probably not high, but traces of radiation. I can't recall how to calculate the half-life of nuclear waste or summit but I reckon you can google it.

here is what Hiroshima looked like after the bomb was dropped:

A film was found:

http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9608/10/japan.hiroshima.film/

all radioactive materials must be removed and disposed of and that is what happened in Hiroshima.

over 100,000 people dead or missing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki

60,000 minimum dead from radiation.

Pripyat is not so bad now, not as bad as when it happened at least. you can visit. if you stay out of bad areas and on concrete, its probably not that bad for health.. i forget average dose.. i think on concrete is only 10x normal background radiation.. ~100µR

Here is lots of photos from Pripyat, http://www.pripiat.com/
