Tom,



>From another article: "This year's total rose by 4,977 people to 

226,870 victims, as more of the older generation succumbed to long-

term illnesses caused by the blast, such as cancer, Hiroshima city 

spokeswoman Yukiko Ota said."



The number of killed in Hiroshima was ~ 140K and in Nagasaki was ~ 

70K. Together, these numbers total about 210K. I wonder whether or 

not the total is base don these, plus new individuals.
