Maybe you should take a geiger counter?  Though I went there (for all of one day) and I haven't grown an extra head or anything.
Since we were there only for 1 day, we went to Miyajima, an island full of shrines, a bit to the SW, maybe 45 min by train. There is a train station nearby, and yer trusty JR pass gets you onto a ferry. The island is still mostly unspoiled, and the view from the top is great (if there isn't crappy weather like when I was there). Watch out for the 'tame' deer though, if you buy deer foood or carry paper around. After that, by the time we got back to the city it was dark, and so we went to the a bomb memorial, but the museum (have heard that some of the 'history' there is a bit iffy) and stuff were closed. That's all we had time for.
