after visiting Hiroshima a couple of years ago and going to the museum in peace park it seems that this comment seems pretty valid... Hiroshima is flat is surrounded by mountains etc... made a good location to test the bomb... and once Japan surrended there where much testing and recording of medical conditions of the locals etc... maybe I swallowed a little propaganda that day but it does make some sense
