Survivors Bombed Indoors and Who Did Not Enter the Central Regions

Gy and standard deviation 0.572 Gy for the fallout radiation, respectively. By use of
these normal distributions the incidence rates of epilation, purpura and diarrhea in Fig. 6
are fitted and the resulting incidence rates are displayed by thin dashed, solid and chain
curves for epilation, purpura and diarrhea as shown in Fig. 6.
The results of exposure doses obtained in order to reproduce these three different
acute diseases are shown in Fig. 7 by bold broken lines, thin broken lines and bold full
lines for total, initial and fallout radiations, respectively given the same marks as in Fig.
6. As seen in Fig. 7 incidence rates of three entirely different acute diseases are
reproduced with high accuracy by almost the same exposure doses. This fact tells us
that epilation and diarrhea as well as purpura occurred in the regions where the initial
radiation could scarcely reach, and were caused by fallout radiation not by mental shock
nor by poor sanitary conditions.

According to the estimation of DS86, survivors included in the control cohort were
bombed in the region more than 2.7 km from the hypocenter, and these survivors
received effects by fallout radiation equivalent to external acute exposure to gamma
rays of about 1.5 Gy on average as shown in Figs. 5 and 7. These effects are 300 times
the initial radiation estimated by the DS86 system. This will explain why the
government criteria for atomic bomb diseases differs so much from actual states of
survivors who have suffered after effects of atomic radiation for 64 years.
