Not sure I would want to be stationed in Nagasaki that soon after the bomb dropped, but he appears to have had no ill effects, bless him and his courage and luck!

Our lore says that both cities stayed dangerously "hot" for months or years.  Not so.

Cumulative exposure decreased significantly in the first week, and by the 1950s, radiation levels had reached natural background levels. 
  • Within 24 hours: About 80% of the residual radiation decayed, according to the city of Hiroshima's local government website.
  • Within one week: Cumulative exposure decreased to a few percent of the initial level.
  • Within one month: Radiation levels returned to near normal, allowing for recovery and rebuilding.
