Oppenheimer Opens in Japan: Prof. Robert “Bo” Jacobs of Hiroshima Peace Institute After a delay of more than one year, the Oppenheimer film has opened in Japan. To learn what the response has been, we spoke with Prof. Robert “Bo” Jacobs of the Hiroshima Peace Institute and the Graduate School of Peace Studies of Hiroshima...

Today my guest is Robert (Bo) Jacobs. Robert is a historian of Science and Technology at the Hiroshima Peace Institute and Graduate School of Peace Studies at Hiroshima City University. He has published widely on the interface of nuclear technologies with human beings and communities. His book Nuclear Bodies: The Global Hibakusha was published by Yale University Press in 2022. Nuclear weapons have once again come into the spotlight with the ongoing war in Ukraine, and I thought it would be useful to get a wide picture of the history and future of these weapons, so I hope you are sitting comfortably and happy to stay with us.

Numnutz of the Week: Fukushima Prefecture plans to burn “lightly irradiated” wood to shrink the volume of waste by 99.5% – BUT NOT THE AMOUNT OF RADIOACTIVITY! Thus they’ll be concentrating the contamination and releasing it as smoke, ash and soot. But hey, it LOOKS like it’s less! And they have the GALL to call what they’ll be creating “green power!” Numnutz fer shure!

If you experience any technical difficulties with this video or would like to make an accessibility-related request, please send a message to digicomm@uchicago.edu. Dr. Yuki Tanaka of the Hiroshima Peace Institute examines the question of the criminality of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the responsibility of American political and military leaders who were closely involved in the decision-making and execution of the order to drop the bombs. Criminality is examined in accordance with international law effective at the time that the bombs were dropped and in the light of the Charter of the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal. The lecture also examines the history and present situation of indiscriminate aerial bombing of civilian popu^A-lations. It examines how the use of this tactic started, what kind of military logic was used to justify it, and why it is still being widely sanctioned despite the fact that large numbers of civilians are repeatedly victimized in various war-torn regions of the world. It further explores how we should utilize the result of the International Peoples’ Tribunal of Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to increase understanding of the fact that killing civilians is a crime against humanity, regardless of the asserted military justification.
