The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II yielded 15 kilotons. Some 70,000 people probably died as a result of initial blast, heat, and radiation effects. Nearly every structure within one mile of ground zero was destroyed, and almost every building within three miles was damaged.
NUKEMAP is a mapping mash-up that calculates the effects of the detonation of a nuclear bomb.
NUKEMAP, created by Alex Wellerstein, a nuclear historian, allows people to explore the blast radius of a nuclear bomb anywhere in the world. Users can select the smallest bomb ever designed, all the way up to the largest, and see what the fallout would be.
It gives information about the ranges of prompt effects (blast, heat, acute ionizing radiation), delayed effects (fallout contamination), and calculates estimates as to the numbers of possible casualties based on an underlying database of global ambient population density.
NUKEMAP by Alex Wellerstein (https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/) is a mapping mash-up that calculates the effects of the detonation of a nuclear bomb.
Built on mathematical models, this web-based calculator use the nuclear weapon effects data from the users (e.g., weapons yield, weather condition, wind speed). It then provides an output awareness to the users with potential risks and understanding of real threats of nuclear weapons.
