As of now, there is no effect way to clean up nuclear radiation. I heard it takes hundreds of years for the radiation from a nuclear explosion to decrease to a safe level, until then the environment within the vicinity of the explosion is uninhabitable.
Now, my question is: how could the Japanese rebuild Hiroshima and Nagasaki right after the nuclear explosion? If I'm not mistaken, there is a Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park right in the city center where the Atomic Bomb Dome marked the ground zero of the nuclear explosion.
If radiation released by an nuclear explosion is so dangerous, how can these two cities become habitable to human in such a short time?
Maybe I should ask it under Science -> Physics? Not sure if this is the right place. XD
