Answer: When the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan no one was ready for the amount of damage it will cause. Not only did it kill many people where it hit but also had many long-term effects. One of which was the deformities of offspring. The radiation emitted from the atomic bomb went around the area of impact. So anyone who did not die from the explosion could have very well be exposed to the radiation. The radiation went into the people who then if had children they would have many problems. Also another long-term effect was where the bomb hit was unsafe to go because of the large amount of radiation at the site. A final long-term effect was cancer was higher with people and offspring exposed to radiation and it was much easier for the people to get sick.
Have a nice day!
