Such was the case of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where a nuclear bomb was dropped 70 years ago. The radiation caused deaths due to the force and excruciating heat of the explosions. Acute radiation exposure not only led to on the spot killing but also led to genetic mutations which involved DNA damage which ultimately led to altered genes. In a fraction of a second an entire generation was wiped out and also took a toll on the generations to come.
After a nuclear explosion, there can be various effects which can even cause the destruction of mankind. The basic one is the release of the nuclear material and fission products which were dispersed in the atmosphere or blown away by the wind.
According to a report by the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (a cooperative Japan-U.S. organization) between 90,000 and 166,000 people died in Hiroshima, while another 60,000 to 80,000 died in Nagasaki. In many cases the entire family was wiped out however finding out the effects of the harm caused to the next generation seems nearly impossible.
Years after the exposure to radiation in 1956, a significant increase in cancer was seen amongst the generation affected, which was observed after the abnormal growth of tumors was
