A member of Japan's leading group of atomic bomb survivors called for the abolition of nuclear weapons at the United Nations on Friday, saying the bombs are "weapons of the devil." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/05/02/japan/un-nihon-hidankyo-nuclear-bomb-abolish/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #hiroshima #nagasaki #nuclearweapons #hibakusha

グローバル被爆者：核時代の隠された物語 [日本語吹替版]

この短編動画では、拡大し続ける核時代の歴史、そして日本での出来事を超え、世界中の何百万もの人々に影響を与えた「隠された物語」を探ります。核実験、核兵器製造、そして事故の時代がいかにして広大なネットワーク、すなわち放射性降下物によって人生を永遠に変えられた人々——「グローバル・ヒバクシャ」——を生み出したのかを検証します。

Using the tragic 1954 Castle Bravo test as a turning point, we analyze how radioactive fallout was tracked in secret while the victims were told the 'snow' falling on them was harmless. It is time to move past the cinematic myths of the mushroom cloud and confront the 'nuclear mundane': the quiet, ongoing reality of a world where the isotopes of the Cold War are still part of our environment and our biology.

Today, we go on a deep dive into a globally dispersed, slow-motion nuclear war. By unpacking a massive archive of declassified memos and epidemiological research, we challenge the 'nuclear sublime'—the Hollywood myth of the mushroom cloud—and confront the 'nuclear mundane': the everyday physical reality of millions of people who became the Global Hibakusha.

The Hidden Victims of Two Thousand Bombs: Unveiling the Global Hibakusha

Between 1946 and 1989, a nuclear weapon was detonated somewhere on Earth every 8.6 days. While we are often taught that the Cold War was a 'peaceful' standoff that never went hot, the reality is far more chilling.

Global hibakusha

Who are the “global hibakusha”? As many of us know, hibakusha is the Japanese word used to refer to those who survived the two nuclear attacks conducted by the United States against the people living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Those attacks killed between 100,000 and 200,000 human beings instantly, and wounded as many.

Hibakusha atomic bomb survivors and antinuclear advocates pledged to build momentum toward the abolition of nuclear arms amid the fifth anniversary of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons coming into effect. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/23/japan/hibakusha-nuclear-arms-abolition/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #nuclearweapons #atomicbombings #hiroshima #nagasaki #nihonhidankyo #hibakusha

In the post-survivor era, the question is not whether Hiroshima will be remembered, but whether it will continue to matter. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/05/japan/when-the-last-hibakusha-is-gone/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #hiroshima #nagasaki #peaceclock #atomicbombdome #hiroshimapeacememorialmuseum #hibakusha #atomicbombings #wwii #nuclearweapons

He plans to convey to the world the consequences of the atomic bombing & the inhumane nature of nuclear weapons based on his own experiences, which included losing 5 relatives.
Tanaka said support from around the world will be needed to continue the campaign (…).“

2024 #NobelPeacePrize goes to Japanese organization #NihonHidankyo for efforts against #NuclearWeapons

October 11, 2024

"The Nobel Peace Prize for 2024 was awarded Friday to the Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo, with the Nobel committee lauding the 'grassroots movement of #AtomicBomb survivors from #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki' for its work to 'achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again.'

"Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, said the award was made as the 'taboo against the use of nuclear weapon is under pressure.'

"Both North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russia's Vladimir Putin have repeatedly threatened over the last year to use nuclear weapons if they feel their nations are being threatened.

"The secretary general of Nihon Hidankyo, which is also known as #Hibakusha, is 92-year-old Nagasaki bombing survivor #TanakaTerumi, who was 13 when the American bomb hit his city.

"The 2024 Peace Prize was awarded against a backdrop of devastating conflicts raging in the world, notably in the #MiddleEast, #Ukraine and #Sudan."

.> Because the melted nuclear cores (corium) of reactors 1, 2 & 3 at Fukushima Dai'ichi are somewhere underneath the three reactor buildings, having melted out, workers at TEPCO have been pouring cold water on the corium since the meltdowns to cool the corium. This is both to prevent spontaneous fissioning, and also to carry heat away from the mess so that it may eventually be removed sometime later in this century (the melted core of Chernobyl is still underneath the reactor, almost 40 years later, and still has not schedule for removal). All of the water used to cool the corium is then pumped into holding tanks on the grounds of the Fukushima site. Also, groundwater flows through the basements that hold the corium, and that adds to the water being pumped out....

As Ken Buesseler of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has said, the water could be moved to much larger tanks and held for up to a century, which would facilitate some further decay of the radioactivity of particles before they are released.

Today! Join us!

International Student/Young #Pugwash (ISYP), a global and interdisciplinary network of students and young professionals concerned with the interface of #science, #technology, society and #ethics.

I'll be in conversation with ISYP members about my book and work on global #hibakusha issues in an online event this Tuesday.

"On the basis of extensive research, including oral histories in over 20 radiation-affected communities, Bo reveals the many ripple effects from #nuclear production, testing, and disasters. He connects these seemingly distinct legacies into one comprehensive global history of a slow-motion nuclear war.

In order to better understand this framing and delve into particular case studies, #ISYP convenes a discussion event with Bo Jacobs on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, at 11 am GMT / 7 am EST / 8 pm JST."

I'll have an online discussion of global hibakusha issues and my work with International Student/Young Pugwash (based in Germany) next Tuesday on Zoom.

From the event promo:
"The Japanese term ‘hibakusha’ commonly refers to the people affected by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. It roughly translates to ‘people affected by the bomb’.

In his book 'Nuclear Bodies: The Global Hibakusha', Robert (Bo) Jacobs broadens the term – conceptually and geographically."

Join and share, especially with students.

Online book talk tomorrow from University of #Oslo:

In the fall of 1961, President Kennedy somberly warned Americans about deadly radioactive fallout clouds extending hundreds of miles from H‑bomb detonations, yet he approved ninety‑six US nuclear weapon tests for 1962. Since the #nuclear attacks on #Hiroshima & #Nagasaki there have been over 2,000 nuclear tests; we envision the Cold War as a period in which nuclear weapons were not used when in fact statistically there was a nuclear detonation every 8.6 days between 1950-1989. Millions of people lived downwind from those nuclear tests, and #thermonuclear tests raised radioactive fallout into the troposphere and stratosphere which eventuated in global distribution of radionuclides. Millions more lived near nuclear production sites, or accident sites like #Chernobyl and #Fukushima. These are the “global #hibakusha.”
