Nuclear Weapon Effects Calculator demonstrates impact of nuclear blast on major U.S. cities

Posted by: Diane Levin in Global and Cultural Awareness, Online Games, Tools & Tests

Nuclear Weapon Effects CalculatorThe Federation of American Scientists has created a Nuclear Weapon Effects Calculator to bring home to Americans the devastating effects of a nuclear blast. Select your nearest U.S. city from the dropdown menu, choose the weapon yield (kilotons or megatons), and designate the delivery method–automobile or aircraft–to reveal in a chilling and deeply disturbing way the area of impact and the degree of destruction.

A quietly compelling case for nonproliferation if there ever was one.
