Hibakusha是一个日语词汇，指的是受到核辐射的人。本章通过上世纪中叶美国在太平洋进行的核武器试验的隐形受害者的例子，探讨了“全球原子弹爆炸”可能涉及的内容。这一章表明，在“布拉沃城堡”试验之前，当地人对辐射的暴露是完全可以预测的，因此这种影响不能被认为是“偶然的”。这些影响的可预测性可以说是美国在马绍尔群岛共和国（马绍尔群岛共和国）而不是在其本土附近进行试验的动机。美国核损害在RMI的持续影响引起了人们对核辐射长期影响的关注，这些影响往往被忽视，对生态与和平具有重要影响。本章最后呼吁在更大的和平研究领域内建立一个新的研究领域“全球爆炸”。
Hibakusha is a Japanese term that refers to people who have been exposed to nuclear radiation. This chapter explores what a ‘Global Hibakusha’ might involve, through the example of invisible victims of United States’ testing of nuclear weapons conducted in the Pacific mid-last century. The chapter suggests that the native people’s exposure to radiation was fully predictable prior to the ‘Castle Bravo’ test, thus the effects cannot be considered ‘accidental’. The predictability of these effects are arguably the motivation behind the United States conducting the tests in theRepublic of the Marshall Islands(RMI) rather than near to their homeland. The lingering effects of U.S. nuclear damages in the RMI drawing attention to the long-term effects of nuclear radiation that are often overlooked and which have important implications for ecology and peace. This chapter closes with a call for a new research field of ‘Global Hibakusha’ within the larger field of peace studies.
