• Yes, it is relatively safe. When the bomb goes off, if it hits the earth, it will irradiate and activate that dirt and dust it kicks up. The Bikini islands have grown back for instance..but the coconuts are radioactive, since the soil is radioactive. That was also a surface burst because the bomb hit the atoll.
  The Hiroshima bomb was an aerial burst, which means it detinated above land. This still would have produced the thermal damage of any other blast, but doesn%26#039;t contact and activate debris that is blown into the atmosphere during a surface burst. Sure, at ground zero you might have elevated levels, but for the most part the land is livable. 0% 0 Votes
• Yes. I believe they figured out that it was safe after about 35 years. Which was a real surprise, because the half life of plutonium is something like 95 million years. But our environment really is quite robust. 0% 0 Votes
