Feedback:

-Excellent program. Hearing directly from an A-bomb survivor and learning about current research and activities was a very moving experience. I would highly recommend this training to others.

- I would like to discuss the cancer risks of low-dose radiation with my students and share these lessons to help prevent such a tragedy from ever happening again.

- The museum exhibits and cultural experiences during the visits helped me better understand the devastating impact and suffering caused by the atomic bombing on a community with a long history. I would like to visit Hiroshima again with my family.

- I would like to raise awareness of the reality of the atomic bombings and the need to prepare for radiation emergencies that could occur anywhere in the world. I sincerely thank everyone for this excellent training.

- The lecturer’s words that nuclear war could end humanity left a strong impression on me. Your work helps deepen our understanding of radiation and promotes its responsible use.
