On the morning of the 6th of August 1945, the first atom bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima and three days after Nagasaki was hit by another bomb. The devastating events in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are remembered each year on Hiroshima Day. In commemoration, we spoke to Dr Ronald McCoy, former President of the Malaysian Physicians for Social Responsibility about his vision for a nuclear-free future.
