Soka Gakkai International

Recently, Soka Gakkai International was in Penang promoting an anti-nuclear exhibition. This exhibition's purpose was to create awareness about the destruction a weapon, no matter nuclear, biological, or chemical can bring.

today you went right...how was it??? telll us your experience,ok?

The exhibition hall was full of posters. Some were about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, some were about the aftermath of the war. On August 6, 1945, the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, followed on August 9, 1945 by the detonation of the "Fat Man" nuclear bomb over Nagasaki. The "Little Boy" was a uranium powered nuclear bomb. Because Little Boy was detonated 1900 feet above the ground, as an air burst, there was no bomb crater and no radioactive fallout. Fallout is dust and ash from a bomb crater, contaminated with radioactive fission products. It falls back to the ground downwind of the crater and can easily produce, with radiation alone, a lethal area much larger than that from blast and fire. Some temporary survivors died soon afterward of acute radiation illness, but most of the radiation effects show up statistically, as increases in cancer rates, birth defects, etc., over the lifetimes of the survivors and their descendants."Fat Man" is the codename, allegedly named after Winston Churchill, of the atomic bomb that was detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, by the United States on August 9, 1945. It was the 2nd of the two nuclear weapons to be used in warfare and was the third man-made nuclear explosion at that time.
