Nuke Map by Alex Wellerstein

[Octavusprime]

I stumbled on this interactive nuclear weapons map. Just pick a blast site, nuke size and detonation type (aerial or ground) and it shows you the impact. Note: that the fallout is much worse and casualties greater with a ground detonation. I'd guess that an aerial detonation is more damaging financially and thus more impactful from a tactical aspect due to the EMP effects.

So if your like me and land outside of the initial impact zone of a nearby city but live in the fallout zone you might be curious as to what that would mean to survive. This is a pretty thorough look at how to survive:

All is well and this is a very unlikely scenario but as with everything else better to know of the risks and be prepared than to try and figure it out at the time. I'd also recommend two weeks worth of potassium iodine tablets or at the very least iodine supplements for loading the thyroid.

Thanks but a active description of what would happen and why the iodine is needed for the thyroid, is more helpful to me than, "bombing my own countrymen and women in these areas" to see it. Couldn't it have been done once by the site manager, and when the cursor is over it, tell the actual effects via communication balloons/boxes?

It's just too unsettling for me to even pretend it, when I'm working on a creative and aware of karma mind. I wouldn't want to put it out there that many times clicking, to open the possibilities as a live nuke video game. Life and death of a nuke is too serious for me.
Potassium and Iodine protect the thyroid from cancer. That's it, no blow ups, just info, for me. If Like I said the author had already done those then I would have looked at the effects. WE have to be more careful of "thought/fear/transference" putting it out there to return, eh?:confused: I'm just trying to express where "my" emotions go when I first took a gander at it. "I" must be careful of what I watch, even if I know from my vision in 1997 what the results are.:sad:
There is enough of the evil intent ones, pushing that thought, I simply choose not to participate, but we all have free choice, and therefore my reasoning. Not fear, just caution with my emotional transference being put out there because of something so serious at this time.

The Wiki was exceptionally great though. Lots of info and plenty of ideas sprung. Love it.:happy:

I just found it informative. Did you try it out? It isn't a video game showing death and destruction. It is literally a map with colored rings. Using this information you can plan out your response and know how much time you have to react. Knowing if you lie in a fallout zone determines if you can just get in a car and leave or whether you should have a plan that includes shelter.

I suppose a sick person could have "fun" blowing up the world but that is definitely not the intention. If you live in a huge city like NYC than this is of little use but if you live 100 miles upstate the information could be lifesaving. Some of the most important information is often very hard to swallow...

Even if you do survive and escape the blast the radation and irradicated water will kill you just as fast so what is the point in surving? It won't be a pleasant experience.

After 10 days it would be "safe" to leave. The first 10 days are when the fallout is the most deadly once it is over you move in a direction that is perpendicular to the wind current. This will get you out of the "dead zone" quicker. Of course you will have a higher chance for cancer later on but at least you survive.

Came across this thread today. Very interesting little interactive map.
Has anyone come across a similar site that includes EMP in the design? I have a vague recollection of seeing one but can't remember where...
I thought it was odd that the site referenced in this thread included airburst etc but didn't include some form of indication of EMP impact radius (though do appreciate that it is a bit unpredictable).

Anyway, thanks for presenting the sites Octavusprime. Much appreciated.
