Most people near the centers of explosion at Hiroshima and Nagasaki died of heat or blast. Some survived these effects, but got heavy doses of gamma rays and neutrons. In Hiroshima, 750 people who had been within 1,000 meters (3,300 ft.) recovered from their radiation sickness and remained apparently well for years. Then an unusual...

Dr. Moloney expects other forms of cancer to appear later, and he suspects that the radioactive fallout of hydrogen bombs will have even greater cancer-producing effect. His guess is that repeated small exposures because of the fallout will cause more malignancies than the atom bomb's single big dose...
