Radioactivity measurements observed in Hiroshima after the atomic bomb blast in World War 2. Animation explains the degree of intensity with which neutrons distributed in earth in the area of epicenter. Scientist looks into instrument. Map shows intensity measurements. Scientists carry gamma ray spectrometer instrument to measure intensity through debris and keep it near a building. Measurement is made through the electrometer. Animated map depicts Intensity distribution near epicenter and highlights Shima Center. Rubble and debris in destruction area of Hiroshima. Map shows degree of intensity as 74.6J. Animated graph makes a comparison of two intensity curves. A weather station near Epicenter. Man shows a pair of flash-burned trousers. A flash-burned door.
