A: Hey there! Did you hear about what happened in Hiroshima?
B: No, what's up?
A: Well, they just went through their annual ritual of protecting an old register that has the names of people who were affected by the atomic bomb back in 1945.
B: Oh, really? That's quite interesting! What did they do exactly?
A: They gathered at the Peace Memorial Park and checked over each page for any damage. This register has the names and dates of about 344,000 people who were exposed to radiation and sadly passed away.
B: That's sad but important to remember. Is this some kind of anniversary?
A: Yes! They do it every year, but this year is special since it marks the 80th anniversary of the bombing. They wanted to pay extra respect this time around. The names of those who have passed away since the last update will be added soon.
B: I see. It's good they are keeping these memories alive, even after all these years.

Officials in the city of Hiroshima have aired out a register that contains the names of victims of the 1945 atomic bombing. The work is carried out annually to protect the register from being damaged by humidity.
About 20 officials gathered at the city's Peace Memorial Park on Thursday. They observed a moment of silence at 8:15 a.m., the exact moment the bomb exploded.
After putting on white gloves, the officials took out 129 volumes of the register from a cenotaph and carefully laid them side by side on a white cloth. They then turned over each page to check for any damage.
The list bears the names and dates of the 344,306 people who were exposed to radiation and had died by August 5 last year.
Uemoto Shinji, an official in charge of atomic bomb victims, noted that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the city's atomic bombing. He said the documents were inspected ahead of the occasion on August 6 to renew respect for the victims.
The names of those who have died since the last names were added will be included in the list starting in early June. The register will be returned to the cenotaph on August 6.
