Classified Rates Chance of Survival in Atom Blast
The Atom Bomb Commission director in Hiroshima said statistically chances of surviving an atomic blast are quite low. Dr. Robert Holmes notes no survival chances seen in first generation survivors from Hiroshima or Nagasaki and little chance for later generations. He cites increased leukemia in atom-bombed cities with about 151,000 deaths in 1945 raids and 108 leukemia cases since then, about 10 per year.
