In the context of World War II, on August 6, 1945, a B29 of American aviation launched a 16- kiloton atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hi- roshima, killing 150 thousand people. With the explosion, a devastating radioactive fire spread four kilometers in diameter, annihilating every- thing in its path, while the 60 kilos of uranium spread beyond. Those who did not die burned by the deadly impact of the bomb, would die days later by the radioactive effect of the same.
