Maps Show Where Russia Has Lost Ground in Ukraine.
Nukes Hitting Ukraine Would Be 'Attack on NATO' Due to Radiation: Graham.Russian Forces Simulate Nuclear Attack Near Border With Poland.Nuclear fallout is the "short-term" radiation-defined here as the radioactive residues of the explosion that remain active for the next few weeks or months (as opposed to years)-that "fall out" of the mushroom cloud following the bomb's detonation. Modeling nuclear fallout accurately, in particular, is "very difficult," according to Wellerstein given that there are so many relevant variables, including the type of terrain the explosion is detonated on or over and the weather conditions. "NUKEMAP is made to make understanding nuclear explosions easy for anyone, since pretty much everyone knows how to use online mapping software these days."
"I created NUKEMAP because it's very hard for anyone-even me-to intuitively understand the sizes of nuclear explosions, much less the differences between different types of nuclear weapons," Wellerstein told Newsweek. The creator said enabling people to visualize the effects in arbitrarily picked geographical locations could help them understand what a nuclear weapon would do to places they are familiar with. The NUKEMAP simulator shows what would happen if a nuclear bomb detonated near you. Navy nuclear test at Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands. The reality is somewhere in between: nuclear weapons can cause immense destruction and huge losses of life, but the effects are still comprehendible on a human scale."
"Some people think they destroy everything in the world all that once, some people think they are not very different from conventional bombs. "We live in a world where nuclear weapons issues are on the front pages of our newspapers on a regular basis, yet most people still have a very bad sense of what an exploding nuclear weapon can actually do," Wellerstein said in a statement on the simulator website. In the simulator description, Wellerstein said the aim of the educational tool was to help people visualize the impact of nuclear weapons in simple terms in order to help them gain an understanding of the scale of these blasts. The simulation estimates the potential number of deaths and injuries resulting from any given blast, as well as a rough model of where any nuclear fallout will spread and the dimensions of the mushroom cloud.
