Nuclear detonation and fallout map...

Enter in your location, warhead size, type of detonation (air burst, ground, etc) and click detonate.
Wind direction will show where fallout will be carried post detonation.

I'm going to simulate a bomb over Tuscaloosa.

What's strange about the Tsar Bomb is that 6.8M would die with only 4M injuries in Paris.
Most of the other bombs have a reverse relationship (ie. more injured than dead)
I wonder if physical landscape is factored in like hills/mountains etc.

I believe this has to do with the efficiency of the bomb, i.e. remnants of radioactive material (fallout). The Tsar Bomba was incredibly efficient IIRC, using most of it's material in the explosion, not aftermath.
From wiki
quote:
To limit the amount of fallout, the third stage and possibly the second stage had a lead tamper instead of a uranium-238 fusion tamper (which greatly amplifies the reaction by fissioning uranium atoms with fast neutrons from the fusion reaction). This eliminated fast fission by the fusion-stage neutrons so that approximately 97% of the total yield resulted from thermonuclear fusion alone (as such, it was one of the "cleanest" nuclear bombs ever created, generating a very low amount of fallout relative to its yield).[18] There was a strong incentive for this modification since most of the fallout from a test of the bomb would likely have descended on a populated Soviet territory.[17][19]

It's actually not as bad as I expected

Hello, Professor Falcon. Would you like to play a gama?

Nice try FBI guy.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were slaps on the wrist compared to what we can do now.

I'm barely in the airblast from the largest Russian nuke... not liking my odds.

Yea suppose so thanks for the info

In 2017 this is the sort of comment that gets your mugshot on the internet.

What about a truck bomb? and Anybody got Nick Saban's personal address?
Just need to see what kinda damage we talking.
Let me state I'm just kidding! Dont need the feds pulling up in my front yard

I don't think this thing takes into account the geographic features and level of development on the ground.
I imagine the subsequent ground fire would be equally as devastating as the initial blast in urban areas.

In the 1970s and 80s, there was talk of developing the neutron bomb. This was intended to deliver maximum radiation but low-yield from the blast itself. The gubmint bowed to pressure from the anti-nuclear pinheads and the project was shelved.

Pilottown needs a bunker because its the only safe place I've seen that I would be willing to ride out a nuclear detonation these days.

Damn

Thermal radiation radius (3rd degree burns): 39.9 mi (5,000 mi²)
Third degree burns extend throughout the layers of skin, and are often painless because they destroy the pain nerves. They can cause severe scarring or disablement, and can require amputation. 100% probability for 3rd degree burns at this yield is 13.9 cal/cm2.
