The Nagasaki District Court has rejected a demand filed in 2017 for medical support by 28 second-generation atomic bombing survivors
The number of second-generation survivors of the 1945 atomic bombing, known as “hibaku nisei,” is estimated at around 300,000 to 500,000.
A group of 28 people whose parents were exposed to radiation in the August 9, 1945, US atomic bombing filed a lawsuit in 2017, demanding the government include them as part of its medical support available to survivors.The Nagasaki District Court said on Monday that a possible hereditary radiation effect could not be denied, but there is no established scientific consensus and that the government’s exclusion of the plaintiffs from medical support is not unconstitutional.
The government has maintained that there is no scientific evidence showing hereditary impact of parents’ radiation exposure on their children. The United States dropped the world’s first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, destroying the city and killing 140,000 people. It dropped a second bomb three days later on Nagasaki, killing another 70,000. Japan surrendered on August 15, ending World War II and its nearly half-century of aggression in Asia.
