The atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 was a moment that changed the world. The power that fuelled the stars had been unleashed and turned into a lethal technology. Interwoven throughout this program, we listen to stories of the survivors' experiences and also hear from atomic bomb experts, who break down the bomb's devastating effects: radiation, heat, blast and fire. The program also considers the other legacies of Hiroshima: the long-term effects of radiation and the lasting implications of humanity's newfound power to destroy the world.
