Hiroshima: Of Historical Interest



     Radsafers,
     
     Happy Holidays!
     
     Couple of weeks ago there were discussions of Hiroshima A-bomb affect 
     on RADSAFE so I assume there is still some interest on the subject.
     
     Recently, my wife found a copy of a U.S. leaflet I translated few 
     years ago. I was told that it was dropped over Hiroshima right after 
     the bomb. A copy of the leaflet was bought to me by an another worker 
     here at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. The original belongs to 
     her next door neighbor and he wanted to know if I could translate it 
     for him. I translated it and kept a copy. The style of writing is from 
     that period (My father still writes in that style), but my father who 
     was at Hiroshima does not recall seeing that particular leaflet.
     
     I scanned the leaflet into a TIFF format image file and have the ASCII 
     text of my translation. The image file is about 55K so I won't burden 
     the RADSAFE by posting it (to stay on Melissa's good guy list... I'm 
     assuming that I'm on the good guy list). If anybody is interested, let 
     me know. If there is only few interests I'll forward the two files via 
     email. If there is lots of interest, I'll see if I could find a Web 
     Page where I could place it, probably after the holidays.
