Two atomic bombs detonated and devastated two cities.</P> <P>Both cities were rebuilt, but what happened to all the radiation? Were there radioactive clouds that spread around the earth? Isn't the radiation still in the ground? I was under the impression that radiation of that magnitude would last for hundreds of years, but both cities were rebuilt and have huge populations.</P> <P>Does radiation completely dissipate? Just wondering.....</P> <P>Sunny</P> Tue, 15 Mar 2011 01:52:59 GMT sunala 2011-03-15T01:52:59Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Question-about-Japan-s-WW2-Radiation/m-p/40237#M17820 <P>I've been thinking about the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
