∙ 9y agoThe atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima (Little Boy) on August 6, 1945, instantly killed over 60,000 people. Over the passing of time since that day, the death toll has since risen to around 140,000, due to the additional loss of those who had succumbed to radiation poisoning. Based on the population of Hiroshima at the time of the bombing (about 340,000-350,000, figure comes from the Radiation Effects Research Foundation), and the research of William Robert Johnston into this very subject, the total number of injured due to the bombing of Aug. 6 can be estimated to be in the neighborhood of about 86,000.

What was the biggest nuclear explosion?
The biggest nuclear explosion in history was a 50 megaton (equivalent to 50 million tons of tnt) bomb tested by the soviet union called the "Tsar Bomb". nobody was killed in the blast. the previous answer was completely false, Chernobyl was one of the smallest nuclear explosions in history, smaller than the Hiroshima bomb, which was only 17 kilotons (17 thousand tons of tnt, almost 3000 times smaller than the Tsar Bomb). People were mainly killed by the radiation. The blast didn't even kill everybody inside the actual plant (I'm not sure how many were killed in the blast, if somebody would like to add to this)
How many people died as a result of Mt Fuji eruption?
According to the Atomic Archives the total casualties for Hiroshima were 66,000 dead and 69,000 injured and for Nagasaki 39,000 and 29,000. This number is an estimate because it is hard to take into account how many died years later as a result of their injuries. It also does not take into account the deaths of those born after the bombing, deaths that may be attributed to the radiation exposure of the parents.
