Mapping Us Nuclear Targets

During the 1950's the USA identified 1,100 locations roughly the the world equally targets for nuclear weapons. These included locations inwards Eastern Europe, Russia, China, in addition to North Korea. These targets equally good included a issue of cities amongst large urban populations, including Beijing, Moscow, Leningrad, East Berlin in addition to Warsaw.

The Future of Life Institute has created an interactive map which shows all U.S. nuclear targets inwards 1956. The targets bring been revealed through a late declassified listing published past times the National Security Archives. To practise the interactive map of 1100 Declassified U.S. Nuclear Targets the Future of Life Institute partnered amongst NukeMap. Using NukeMap's nuclear weapon simulation model the map is able to non solely exhibit the 1,100 nuclear targets merely equally good to exhibit yous the probable devastation that would last caused if whatsoever of these targets had truly been bombed.

If yous pick out a target on the map an data window opens which includes a 'Detonate' button. If yous press the detonate push clit yous tin lavatory persuasion the probable fireball radius in addition to radiations radius of a nuclear nail at this location. You tin lavatory equally good persuasion the issue of estimated fatalities in addition to injuries from such a nuclear strike.
