Hiroshima City and HiSoF launched the second volume of “Revisit The Hiroshima A-bomb with a Database -Latest Scientific View on Local Fallout and Black Rain-” on March 22, in Hiroshima (see Publications page).

This book contains recently found data and research results by HiSoF members and its collaborators (see Database page), including:

– the wind data based on the navigation record of the aircraft of bomber and two weather stations data in Japan between July and August 1945;

– results of neutron activation analysis of the soils used under roof tiles in traditional Japanese houses, and ground soil samples in Hiroshima city;

– particle size distribution of the soils used for walls and under roof tiles in traditional Japanese houses and ground soil samples;

– a study that suggests the region west to the hypocenter has a higher risk compared to other areas that cannot be explained by direct exposure only;

– measurements of Cesium-137 and Pu isotopes in under-floor soil samples from houses built 1–4 years after 1945 in Hiroshima;

– a paper which asks a question of whether observed Hiroshima TLD excess dose could be the result of a pattern of local fallout of Hiroshima A-bomb.

Books are available from Hiroshima City
HiSoF Book 1 and Book 2 as well as abridged editions in Japanese are available on request. Those wishing to obtain HiSoF publications, please contact Hiroshima City (see Contact).
