Nihon Hidankyo: Japan's atomic bomb survivors react to winning Nobel prize

"It is not nuclear arms that have deterred the use of the weapons, but it was what we have done that has deterred the use of them", says a member of Japan's Nihon Hidankyo during a press conference in Tokyo, the day after winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

The prize was awarded Friday to the grassroots movement of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors pushing for a nuclear weapons ban.
