More than half of the survivors of the 1945 atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki who responded to a recent poll said they expect nuclear weapons will not be abolished in the 21st century.
According to the poll, covering 239 people aged 54 to 91 and conducted earlier this month, 51 percent of the respondents said they did not think people will do away with nuclear weapons, while 21 percent said they did.
The first atomic bomb was dropped by the United States on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, killing an estimated 140,000 people, and the second one on Nagasaki three days later, killing some 74,000 people.
