Nuclear War Map: what would happen in a nuclear war? What would happen to the United States during a nuclear war? Using unclassified documents on nuclear targeting and open data on the physics of modern weapons and fallout patterns, this simulation models what would happen if approximately 1,100 warheads (~7% of the world's arsenal) hit the United States This is a realistic simulation based on hard science and known targeting strategies That
Nuclear War Map: what would happen in a nuclear war? For the simulation, I took the 80% factor and applied it on pro-rata basis as each target is hit Military targets are usually smaller and these get struck first Thus in the simulation you'll see casualty numbers ramp up slowly at first Casualties then increase dramatically in the second hour of the war, as major cities are destroyed
