Without anyway to measure it, and no TV, most people would forget about it and just get on with life.

Almost no one would worry about the radiation, because people would be dying from other causes, linked to poverty.

more likely they will die from cancer linked to the radiation as happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
poverty only exists where you have money, living naturally without money or careers the only job is to put food on the table.

They died of cancer because they survived the bomb and then lived a long life in a prosperous country free of most of the problems that usually cut life short.

Most young women won't need to worry about cancer ... they will probably die in child birth, because that is what used to happen. Likewise, huge numbers of children won't get to adulthood. Only the lucky ones will live long enough to die of cancer.
