Atomic bombings good for health?

A ninety-three-year-old Japanese man, Tsutomu Yamaguchi, is officially recognized as the only person to survive two nuclear attacks. He was severely burned during a business trip to Hiroshima, and came back to his home town of Nagasaki just in time to see the second explosion.

Survivors of the nuclear bombings in Japan have a better-than-average life expectancy, though the effect might be attributed to their slightly better medical care.

The man survives two nuclear bombings is not the only example. After the Chernobyl accident there are still people who live very close to it although it is prohibited and they feel perfect. That’s why being really amazing the news that the man survives two nuclear bombings is not a shock.

Being in good health after nuclear bombings is something amazing. evidently, it is connected with the fact that humanity still doesn’t know all the consequences possible radiation has. Besides, it’s still difficult to talk about health after nuclear bombings as some mutations have definitely taken place if a person feels so good.
