The immediate death toll from the atomic bombing (by December 1945) is estimated as approximately 114,000. 95% of those people were exposed within a 2 kilometer radius of the hypocenter.

Note: The number of military personnel and people brought in from the Korean peninsula for forced labor exceeds 40,000. Among these people, approximately 20,000 are estimated to have died, but the truth remains obscure because of the scarce records of the dead. These victims are not included in the 1,140,000 dead.
