Note that you can drag the target marker after you have detonated the nuke. Created by Alex Wellerstein , 2012-2024. For more about the nuclear past and present, follow @wellerstein.bsky.social , and visit my blog or read my book .

2013年7月22日 · NUKEMAP3D: the next dimension of nuclear effects mapping, with 3D modeling and real-time animations of custom-built mushroom clouds and nuclear fireballs. The mushroom cloud from a 20 kiloton explosion, centered on downtown San Francisco, as viewed from my old house in the Berkeley Hills.

NUKEMAP is a mapping mash-up that calculates the effects of the detonation of a nuclear bomb.

MISSILEMAP is designed to make it easy to see the relationship between missile range, accuracy, and warhead size. It is especially developed for assistance in understanding the power of nuclear warheads and long-range missiles.

2012年2月3日 · My goal in HYDEsim was for charting zones of blast damage for a surface explosion. As NUKEMAP and the Nuclear Darkness tool both make clear, the real threat of an air-burst nuclear weapon is from thermal radiation, not blast waves—at least, assuming an optimal-altitude detonation.

2013年7月25日 · I modeled the Fukushima Daiichi incident on NUKEMAP2, but had to replace the actual explosion with a 10 kiloton surface burst (North Korean bomb). There were no fatalities/injuries, and the radiation traveled northeast.

This report is a narrative history and guide to primary historical references concerning the CASTLE BRAVO nuclear test of 1 March 1954. Detonated at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, BRAVO was the largest-yield American nuclear explosion.

The point of the "humanitarian impact" model is to emphasize some of the collateral impacts of a nuclear explosion, and to indicate the ways in which support services (e.g. hospitals and fire stations) would be themselves impacted by a nuclear attack.

2013年12月6日 · What airburst physics tells us about nuclear targeting decisions, and why it took so long for the NUKEMAP to support arbitrary burst heights.

2013年6月21日 · It was the first “dry fuel” hydrogen bomb test by the United States, validating that lithium-deuteride would work fine as a fusion fuel and making thermonuclear weapons relatively easy to deploy. It had a maximum predicted yield of only 6 megatons — so it was 250% as explosive than was expected.
