The city as a whole was highly susceptible to fire damage. Effects of an Atomic Bomb Explosion The devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki resulted from three main types of effects: blast, thermal radiation, and nuclear radiation. Of these, only the blast effect is significant for chemical high explosives. The blast effect of an atomic bomb is similar to that of a conventional explosive but much more intense and far-reaching. Thermal radiation, which results from the extremely high temperatures created by an atomic explosion, causes
