About the article "Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki", section "Hibakusha".

Candidate passages:
The Atomic Bomb Survivors Relief Law defines "hibakusha" as people who fall into one of the following categories: within a few kilometers of the hypocenters of the bombs; within 2 km of the hypocenters within two weeks of the bombings; exposed to radiation from fallout; or not yet born but carried by pregnant women in any of these categories.
, 201,779 "hibakusha" were recognized by the Japanese government, most living in Japan.
The government of Japan recognizes about 1% of these as having illnesses caused by radiation.
"Hibakusha" are entitled to government support.
They receive a certain amount of allowance per month.
About 1%, certified as suffering from bomb-related diseases, receive a special medical allowance.
The memorials in Hiroshima and Nagasaki contain lists of the names of the "hibakusha" who are known to have died since the bombings.
Updated annually on the anniversaries of the bombings, the memorials record the names of almost 450,000 "hibakusha"; 286,818 in Hiroshima and 162,083 in Nagasaki.

"Hibakusha" and their children were (and still are) victims of severe discrimination in Japan due to public ignorance about the consequences of radiation sickness, with much of the public believing it to be hereditary or even contagious.
This is despite the fact that no statistically demonstrable increase of birth defects or congenital malformations was found among the later conceived children born to survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
A study of the long-term psychological effects of the bombings on the survivors found that even 17–20 years after the bombings had occurred survivors showed a higher prevalence of anxiety and somatization symptoms.
The Hiroshima Maidens are a group of 25 Japanese women who were young when they were seriously disfigured as a result of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on the morning of August 6, 1945.
Keloid scars marred their faces and many of their hands were bent into claw-like positions.
These women, as well as the other citizens affected by the A-bomb, were referred to as hibakusha, meaning "explosion-affected people".
The more specific nickname for the group of women – the Hiroshima Maidens – caught on when the women were brought to The Mount Sinai Hospital, New York in the United States to undergo multiple reconstructive surgeries.
This highly publicized turn of events was largely the work of "Saturday Review" editor Norman Cousins, an outspoken advocate of nuclear disarmament.
One of these survivors, Miyoko Matsubara, has said:, exactly 235,569 living hibakusha were certified by the Japanese government, with an average age of 75.92. 
People who suffered the effects of both bombings are known as "nijū hibakusha" in Japan.
A documentary called "Twice Survived: The Doubly Atomic Bombed of Hiroshima and Nagasaki" was produced in 2006.
The producers found 165 people who were victims of both bombings, and the production was screened at the United Nations.
On March 24, 2009, the Japanese government officially recognized Tsutomu Yamaguchi (1916–2010) as a double "hibakusha".
Tsutomu Yamaguchi was confirmed to be 3 kilometers from ground zero in Hiroshima on a business trip when the bomb was detonated.
He was seriously burnt on his left side and spent the night in Hiroshima.
He got back to his home city of Nagasaki on August 8, a day before the bomb in Nagasaki was dropped, and he was exposed to residual radiation while searching for his relatives.
He was the first officially recognised survivor of both bombings.
Tsutomu Yamaguchi died at the age of 93 on January 4, 2010 of stomach cancer.

This is despite the fact that no statistically demonstrable increase of birth defects/congenital malformations was found among the "later conceived children born" to survivors of the nuclear weapons used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or found in the later conceived children of cancer survivors who had previously received radiotherapy.
The surviving women of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that could conceive, who were exposed to substantial amounts of radiation, went on and had children with no higher incidence of abnormalities/birth defects than the rate which is observed in the Japanese average.
Studs Terkel's book "The Good War" includes a conversation with two "hibakusha".
The postscript observes:The is a group formed by "hibakusha" in 1956 with the goals of pressuring the Japanese government to improve support of the victims and lobbying governments for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
