Originally posted by Narc That's greatly exaggerated. The blast area would cover only 6.4 square miles. What you have circled there is the total shockwave that it would cause. Manhatten itself covers an area of 33.58 square miles.

what it doesnt say is how many thousand square km will be rendered radioactive by the fall out. -
2020-02-10 at 8:33 PM UTCThe illustration I posted only shows the radius of destruction at half the potential energy of the bomb.

2020-02-10 at 8:42 PM UTCIt was detonated without the planned depleted uranium casing, which would have doubled the yield, but increased the fallout by around 35 times. As a result it was the cleanest explosion for the size ever.

All the world has been rendered radioactive by nuclear testing. That's why pre-1945 steel is worth a premium.

Yeah I was gonna let them make idiots of themselves before I pointed out about the 900 or so nuclear weapons tested in the deserts of the Nevada and New Mexico test sites. Back in the 50s it was a novelty at the Vegas hotels to go and watch the blasts and mushroom clouds from the hotel balconies. The hotels would advertise which days they were scheduled to test on and throw special parties to watch them.
Of course that didn't really happen because America ceased to exist as we knew it.

2020-02-10 at 11:07 PM UTCThen the same evil, lying goons go, "I wonder why everyone got teh cancers..."
-
2020-02-10 at 11:13 PM UTCJohn Wayne got cancer because of nuclear testing from what I hear. Dunno about how many others.
We should test nukes above ground again, just for fun. It'd be cool seeing a nuclear blast IRL. -
2020-02-10 at 11:35 PM UTCIts worth noting that flora and fauna around Chernobyl is thriving perfectly well, always has been.
. -
2020-02-10 at 11:38 PM UTCAlso worth noting that Hiroshima and Nagasaki are both still pretty normal cities. They have had fairly high cancer rates and birth defects but they are still thriving modern cities. The people didn't even move out temporarily after the bombs, they just carried on.

2020-02-10 at 11:49 PM UTCI'd have every person who had anything to do with the nuclear tests executed in public. Either hung or shot. They could choose.
