Survivors of the attack were also permanently affected by the atomic bomb's radiation. In fact, many natives of Hiroshima still have genetic defects due to the radiation sickness their ancestors suffered. The USA dropped another atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Nagasaki only three days after the attack on Hiroshima. Due to these deadly bombs, the Emperor of Japan declared an unconditional surrender on August 15, 1945. 

The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was named 'Little Boy', and is one of the only two nuclear bombs used in a war. After realizing the terrifying power of atomic bombs, most countries decided to avoid using such a weapon as it would result in mutually assured destruction. However, nuclear weapons still exist and are a threat to humanity that is addressed during Hiroshima day.
