WASHINGTON, Japan - (From L to R) Setsuko Thurlow, 77, and 80-year-old Mikiso Iwasa and Shoo Michigami -- survivors of the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki -- answer questions from reporters at a news conference in Washington D.C. on Feb. 14 after they called for the elimination of nuclear weapons at a meeting of an international nuclear nonproliferation commission there. Speaking for the first time before the International Commission on Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament, the survivors sought a new trend toward nuclear arms abolition on the occasion of the launch last month of the administration of new U.S. President Barack Obama.
