Hiroshima. The only doctor in Tokyo studying nuclear physics, Taro Takemi, is in Hiroshima, where, using a simple but effective method involving a radioscope, he determines that the explosion was nuclear in nature. The news is immediately communicated to the Emperor. If it is true that the Emperor surrendered because of the atomic bombs, Takemi reasons, and considering that the Emperor would have sacrificed the entire nation if it were not for the atomic bombs, then these bombs may have saved Japan.
