In August 1945, the United States launched nuclear bombs on Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The BBC Esme Stallard climate and science reporter explains why 80 years, explosion radiation is undetectable.
The Second World War in Europe ended in May 1945, but allies, including the United Kingdom, the United States and the USSR, fought Japan in East Asia.
About 71,000 soldiers from the UK and the community died in the war against Japan, including over 12,000 prisoners of war killed in Japanese captivity.
The Allies had told Japan to surrender in July 1945, but the deadline passed.
The United States slaughtered the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and the second on Nagasaki three days later. About 214,000 people were killed in the explosions and Japan surrendered.
