From Hiroshima to Disarmament
Studies show that even a limited, regional nuclear war would have unprecedented humanitarian consequences worldwide - causing a global famine that could put at risk more than one billion lives.

LONDON – On August 6, 1945, the first uranium bomb was exploded above Hiroshima with the force of 15,000 tons of TNT. A total of 140,000 people died that year as a result of the blast and fireball that engulfed the city, falling debris, and the radioactive fallout. Three days later, Nagasaki was shattered by a plutonium bomb that matched the design of a bomb that the United States had tested in the New Mexico desert three weeks earlier.
