The Hiroshima peace clock has been reset again, after the confirmation of the last nuclear tests carried out by the United States in the course of 2021.
The digital number installed at the city’s Peace Museum – which counts the number of days that have elapsed since the last nuclear test, has been changed from 499 to 209, based on the indications of the experiments conducted on June 22 and September 16 in the US desert of Nevada . The US Department of Energy National Security Agency confirmed two “subcritical” nuclear tests, the first since President Joe Biden’s inauguration in the White House, which followed the one carried out by Donald Trump’s administration in November 2020 ; the last date the clock was reset.
Museum Director Takuo Takigawa said he was “very disappointed” to learn that the United States has tested nuclear weapons in a global situation where the risk of nuclear weapons is still a concern.
The clock, just over 3 meters large, was donated by a pacifist organization to the city of Hiroshima in 2001, on the 56th anniversary of the launch of the atomic bomb carried out by the United States at the end of the Second World War, on 6 August of. 1945.
