Ichiro Moritaki was a Professor emeritus Hiroshima University, a survivor of atomic blast at Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, and a peace activist. In the interview he starts by describing his personal recollections of the atomic blast. He says, "the whole world was wrapped in a whitish-blue light." He lost his right eye to a glass shard from a broken window during the blast. While recovering he began to think about the need for people to join together to get rid of all nuclear weapons. He describes the development of the Japanese Peace Movement, and the eventual split that developed, which he regrets since it weakens the movement as a whole. He describes his views on various non-proliferation policies, including the Japanese three non-nuclear principles and the Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1968. He believes that as the nuclear age continues, eventually the people, who do not want a nuclear war, will win out over the threat of nuclear weapons. He ends by discussing the impossibility of completely peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
