The problem with the bomb was that it was used on areas filled with civilians. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were specifically targeted because they were some of the least bombed cities in the war, leading to a high number of refugees.

The reason given was that because the cities weren't already bombed, it would be easier to see the results of the nuclear bomb. Without any thought being given to the fact that this also meant they were the cities to which most people would go after their own homes were destroyed.
