Germany and Japan at the end of the War, few of them proven. How about
some facts?

Tell you what, rather than spending your time googling, why don't
you tell us why Hitler, *if* he had the ability, would use a dirty
bomb on New York rather than London, Moscow, or a military target?
This was the guts of your initial statement, front up.

What a silly thing to say.

Are you now claiming there *was* radioactive medical waste in 1945?
If so, you've gone off the reservation and I probably have been
trolled...

The nukes were symbolic heavy bombing: the firebombing of Tokyo killed
far more people. The `conventional' bombing of Vietnam was far worse
than the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombings.
