Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission, Research commission in Washington DC, United States.
The Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission conducted medical examinations and evaluations to study radiation effects on survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
President Harry S. Truman established the commission in 1946 through the National Academy of Sciences to investigate long-term radiation effects on atomic bomb survivors.
The commission's research methodology reflected differences between American scientific approaches and Japanese medical practices in the post-war period.
The commission gathered extensive data through regular health examinations of 120,000 survivors, maintaining detailed records of radiation exposure effects.
Despite operating for thirty years, the commission focused exclusively on research without providing medical treatment to the survivors they studied.
