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

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 …

Jul 22, 2013 · NUKEMAP3D: the next dimension of nuclear effects mapping, with 3D modeling and real-time animations of custom-built mushroom clouds and nuclear fireballs.

Snark (1958-1961) • Cruise missile Thor (1958-1975) • IRBM, silo-based, US and UK Jupiter (1959-1965) • MRBM, ground-launched Atlas (1959-1965) • ICBM, ground-launched Pershing I (1960 …

Feb 3, 2012 · If you dropped a Fat Man-style bomb onto downtown Boston, the results wouldn’t be pretty, but the effects would be limited to the immediate area surrounding the peninsula, primarily.

It allowed a user to see the ground effects of a nuclear weapon over any city in the world in 3D, as well as render a size-accurate mushroom cloud for any given yield of nuclear weapon.

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

Mar 30, 2012 · There are lots of ways to photograph a nuclear explosion, and the ideal mushroom cloud shape represents just one particular point in time in the evolution of the nuclear effects.

The decrease in radioactivity of fallout material roughly follows the relationship of (time)-1.2. This means that, for every sevenfold lapse of time after a nuclear explosion, there will be a ten- fold reduction in …
