Associations representing atomic bomb survivors in Japan criticised a change in the policy of the US which advocates modernising its atomic arsenal and increasing its launch capacity. Toshiyuki Mimaki of the Japan Confederation of A-and H-Bomb Sufferers Organisations expressed anger over the change in Washington’s strategy, saying it posed an obstacle to global denuclearization, reported Japan’s state broadcaster NHK.

Mimaki said, “if the President of a global power such as the US wanted to increase and modernize its nuclear capacities, the survivors of the atomic bombings in Japan will never see a world without nuclear weapons”.
