KyodoHIROSHIMA ― The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki sent letters to the U.S. government Friday asking that information on damage caused by atomic bombings be included in its plans to establish national historical parks commemorating the U.S. wartime project that developed the weapons.
In a letter sent to U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos, Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui wrote that "the people of Hiroshima were profoundly alarmed" by the U.S. plan to designate three sites involved in the Manhattan Project as national historical parks.
Planning a park to celebrate the weapons project runs counter to "the wishes of the millions of people around the world calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons," he added.
"Such a park would communicate an erroneous and dangerous message to future generations."
The U.S. National Park Service is considering the establishment of national historical parks at the three sites, including Los Alamos in New Mexico, where much of the scientific activity associated with the project to develop an atomic bomb during World War II was conducted.
