| Situation | Katsuko was exposed to radiation in Ushita Town 2.3 km away from the Hypocenter. She was six years old. At the moment when she saw a B29 while she was playing under a cherry tree waiting for friends, the group with whom she always went to school, she sensed a flash and a blast. She suffered burns on the right arm and the neck. With hair frizzled by fire, black arms and legs and torn clothes, she was hardly recognized even by her mother at first glance. |
