we know from the hiroshima and nagasaki data, there is no safe level of tonight radiation.t produces cancers and we know from aler stewart's work in britain, one x-ray of a fetus increases that fetus's chance of developing leukemia by one and a half to two times and this is just humans and cancer. there is much more that goes on terms of immune systems and in terms of the ecosystem with birds and animals that we are now seeing around chernobyl and in the fukushima area. >> i will point out that there are some studies that would dispute some of that, some studies that suggest that there is no multi-generalation effect, the immediate damage in utero might be severe. multi-generationally, you may not see that affect. there is this question and for a woman as we sidewalk in the report of a mother of two young children. there are specific fears. how far does that spread in your mind in the how far is the limit? we know there was a certain amount of radiation exposure in all of our lives today. >> there is. we all are expose today background radiation, but i think to add to it wi

the japanese didn't want nuclear power after nagasaki and hiroshima, but they were talked into it. so it's a really wicked, wicked industry. and any country that has a reactor, be it syria, saudi arabia--you name it, they have a bomb factory. because each reactor makes 500 pounds of plutonium a year, plutonium lasts for half a million years, and all you need is 5 pounds to make yourself a nuclear weapon. so by selling nuclear power abroad, which america is heavily into, it is causing proliferation of nuclear weapons--which it says it's not, but it is--and that could trigger a global holocaust between russia and america who still target each other with thousands of nuclear weapons. >> does the average doctor understand the full risks involved with radiation and nuclear power plants? >> no. we're not taught about the medical implications of nuclear power in medical schools. we did get some curricula going--physicians for social responsibility in the eighties in medical schools-- about nuclear war, but also nuclear power. it's a very, very interesting subject but one about which most

they say one her roche ma -- hiroshima, two, allied bombing, dresden, the return of the ethnic germans were, i think the figure you come to is, of 10 million people turfed out of poland, czechoslovakia, et cetera, ethnic germans. half a million dead, perhaps a bit more. i can't think at that where we agreed to russian p.o.w.'s to certain enslavement if not certain death. and the way we revived colonialism gave us a shot in the arm. also things like saying that the resistance in france particularly was not that. was certainly, i mean that's become the myth but the truth was something like collaboration, not resistance. but i find myself very much reacting against that in sort after visceral way. there is no moral equivalence and once you remember that, churchhill referred to the moral rot of war and an interesting concept that i saw raised. that wars get old and the bigger they are the faster the age. and six years in there just, that kind of, a loss of patience is a mild way of putting it but we don't feel that, do we? and i think, he said, well, we created the united nations and europ

we should not have dropped her hiroshima. we were winning the war anyway. the emperor of japan was preparing to surrender. i don't think it could have caused a land invasion at the japan, just wait a few more weeks to see if the surrender talks were, in fact, going to succeed or not. i know it's controversial, but you asked my opinion, and that's it. >> questions? a student question up front here from providence day school. tell us what grade you're in. >> junior. >> at providence day? >> yes, sir. what would the world response to a policic missile attack on palestine be by israel since they have not signed a nonproliferation agreement or any agreement of that sort? >> it's a good, tricky question because, well, israel actually wouldn't attack palestine, and by "palestine," you mean the west bank or gaza with the ballistic missile. ballistic missile is a long range weapon going hundreds of thousands of kilometers. if there is a conflict between israel and the people of palestine, it's tanks and mortars and air drops. take the ballistic part out, and you're

the -- hiroshima.nd i would cast somewhere there is probably a map of china at a very healthy stage veba by to get back and i think they would do it very slowly and steadily as you can see if you look at the maniacal gambles that mao took they are a long way from that. they are aware of their own problems. they have a lot of problems to solve before they can start to exercise their power. so we are a long way away by the japanese economy's. >> you mentioned how preposterous it was to make up the characters such as montagu i am just curious they were on cnn saying dennis rodman he cannot make this up as well. is there another sport you could write about?

on sunday, we will be headed to astsushi funahashi and kyoto -- we will be headed to hiroshima and kyotowe are here in japan, the country is about to mark the third anniversary of one of the world's worst atomic disasters. massive 9.0-, a magnitude earthquake triggered a devastating tsunami that struck japanese northeast coast. it left an estimated 19,000 people dead or missing, and forced 160,000 to flee their homes. many have never been able to return. the disasters trickled -- triggered a meltdown at the tokyo electric company, fukushima powerplant's owner. the radiation that spewed from the plant stranded more than 350,000 evacuees. in the years following the fukushima disaster, tens of thousands of japanese have taken to the streets to march in opposition to nuclear power. this is a protesters speaking in tokyo last year. >> take nuclear energy off-line. i want the government to change over completely to natural energy sources for the nation. >> and the nearly three years since the disaster, the fukushima cleanup and decommissioning efforts have been complicated by leaks of highly r

i think day aye tommic bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki the first thing at that time come to mind, and bombing in major cities tends to get forgotten or not discussed. i think that sort of experience dies hard. but then it's been almost 70 years, nearly 70 years, since the end of the war, and that sort of collective experience is becoming thinner and thinner. so, i can't really say even that they have this strong attachment to any of the bombings, including a-bombings, aside for the fact that they get taught in school much moore effectively than they are being taught about -- >> maybe may be another reason, why so many japanese intellectuals, people who were not fascists, applauded pearl harbor because it came as an enormous relief. they had been fighting china, and getting deeper and deeper into what was a quagmire. people felt rather -- many people felt embarrassed, think, before the -- about it. even now. more people know if they think about world war ii, know more about the atrocities committed against the china than they know about pearl harbor. and into a lot of intellectuals

30s and are there a very long time and it's a brutal occupation, and that doesn't end until here hiroshima so these things scar and i guess somewhere in the chinese foreign ministry there's a map of china in a healthy stage in the ching empire and they'd like to get back to that and they're willing to do it slowly and steadily and without bloodshed, but as you can see some of their actions are bellicose, and if you look at some of the gambles that mao took, we're a long way from that, thank god. so, i'm pretty optimistic they're very aware of their own problems, and they have some huge problems. they have a lot of problems so solve before they can really start exercising their power, and it is also everything is regional. so we're a long way away. if i was japan, taiwanese, or south korean, i might beatle more wobbly. >> one more question. >> you mentioned earlier about how preposterous to make up a person like montague. today cnn was saying, that guy -- played for the chicago bulls -- rodman, and he couldn't make this up as well. is that something you would have written about? >> great qu

oppenheimer, often called the father of the atom bomb, spent most of the -- much of the post-hiroshima years trying to limit the spread of nuclear weapons. so while oppenheimer worked to restrain the monster that he had helped to create -- and thereby earned the ire of the authorities -- edward keller worked asidously to place himself at the very center of the nuclear arms race and attained the kind of power undreamed of by other scientists. and he could do so because he was the most aggressive advocate of nuclear weapons including the use of nuclear explosions for civil engineering projects, creating new harbors with nuclear bombs, for example. when controlling the world's climate becomes central to the exercise of global strategic and military power as nuclear weapons did in the postwar era, which path will today's geoengineering researchers take, oppenheimer's or teller's? if decade's advocacy of an aerosol injection persuades more than one country to embark on it or if it goes badly wrong but is pursued nevertheless, where will he stand? let's go a bit deeper on the politics of geo
