In August 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs into Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The BBC ESME Stallard reporter explains why 80 years old, no explosions are detected.
The Second World War in Europe ended in May 1945, but allies, including the UK, the US and the USSR, fought against Japan in East Asia.
About 71,000 soldiers from Britain and Commonwealth died in the war against Japan, including more than 12,000 prisoners of war who died in Japanese captivity.
The Allies ordered Japan to surrender in July 1945, but the term passed.
On August 6, 1945, the United States abandoned the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and the second to Nagasaki three days later. About 214,000 people were killed in the blast and Japan surrendered.
