“…In this work, the method of single quartz grain luminescence retrospective dosimetry was applied for a retrospective estimation of the ‘dose-depth’ profile in a quartz-containing tile extracted from the building of former Hiroshima University (HU), which was a ‘witness’ of the Hiroshima atomic bombing on the 6 August 1945. It has been shown that results of retrospective estimates of the ‘dose-depth’ profile using the method of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) from inclusions of quartz grains in very thin layers of the sample, in combination with the calculations of the ‘dose-depth’ profile using the Monte Carlo method, indicates the possible presence of beta irradiation of thin layers of the sample located near the surface of the tile facing the air, where there is no electronic equilibrium from gamma radiation.…”

“…The first, a field study, examined the elementary school performance of 929 children who were born from mothers exposed to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, August 6, 1945. The most severe mental retardation was observed in the group exposed between 8 and 15 weeks following fertilization, and the second most severely damaged group was exposed between 16 and 25 weeks. …”

“…The link between ionizing radiation and the subsequent development of neoplasia has been largely based on extrapolating data from studies of survivors of the atomic bombs dropped in Japan in 1945 and on assessments of the increased relative risk of neoplasia in those occupationally exposed to radiation within the nuclear industry. …”

“…Manganese-56 ((56)Mn) was one of the dominant neutron-activated radionuclides during the first hours following the atomic-bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The radiation spectrum of (56)Mn and the radiation emission from excited levels of (56)Fe following (56)Mn beta-decay include gamma-quanta, beta-particles, Auger electrons and X-rays. …”

“…To understand the radiation effects of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki among the survivors, radiation from neutron-induced radioisotopes in soil should be considered in addition to the initial radiation directly received from the bombs. (56)Mn, which emits both β particles and γ-rays, is one of the dominant radioisotopes created in soil by neutrons from the bomb. …”
