Another thing to keep in mind, tall buildings like skyscrapers actually limit the blast and mitigate thermal radiation (but not other forms of radiation). However, the real concern with nuclear explosions, radioactive fallout aside, are the firestorms that crop up: buildings burst into flames more often than explode, so sheltering in a building close to the blast will probably save you from thermal damage but will also probably cook you alive in a conflagration.

Older ICBMs had awful accuracy with your average American/Soviet ICBM having a CEP of 2 miles which meant they required larger warheads with a bigger yield to guarantee a hit. Nowadays we have ICBMs with CEP of around 100-200 meters which means warheads with below the megaton range are good enough to guarantee a hit while also having huge destruction levels. The largest nuclear device still in active service would be the warhead on the Dongfeng 5 Chinese ICBM which has a yield of 5 megatons. The next "closest" known (We don't know what Russian nuclear warhead yields are as they keep it a state secret) nuclear weapon would be the American B83 1.2 megaton bomb. The only actual super nuke that existed was the Tsar Bomba which was designed as a political tool rather than an actual weapon, though the Soviets and Russians did have a singular 25 megaton warhead for the R-36 ICBM that was active til 2006.

The dangers of nuclear winter was overstated but it's not commonly discussed because maybe it's good that most people think it would be worse than it actually would be.

Outstanding tool and very well described by the author. The only little inaccuracy I heard was when he said "submarines are launching their Minuteman missiles..." US ballistic missile submarines carry Trident II missiles, the Minuteman missiles are land-based ICBM's. Thanks for sharing!

This is the kind of “game” they should open source, or at least parts of it. It is a great start but the more scientifically minded will want to know how radiation exposure is being calculated, which weapon assemblies are being used, detonation altitude and EMP effects, missile defense sites, etc.

@survivalost1982 For the calculations try Carl Miller's model for fallout prediction. Tabulated data can be found in books. I have even circular slide rules from the times of Cold War. Maybe you would be interested in this website: glasstone.blogspot.com It's a pity it's a bit chaotic.

In other words, it is in every nuclear nation's best interest to "launch on warning" to avoid having its nukes disabled and no longer be a player in the game.

The simulators and games are very good for training; diplomacy, and overcoming fear or denial. As mentioned environmental damage I.e. nuclear winter is toughest to survive. The use of WMD's against fault lines, or to cause a tsunami, are presently relevant, but not included in the simulation. It is especially relevant regarding conflicts on the Pacific plate.

The nuclear winter is just a theory. Never been tested. Well actually it has been tested. Since 1945, several thousands nuclear bombs have exploded through military testing. There has been absolutely no effect on the atmosphere's temperature and sun light transmission. In a nuclear mushroom cloud, you have a ball of "fire " that dissipates within minutes and massive water condensation that quickly dissipates or falls down as rain. The dirt elevated from the earth is not that massive, and it goes down quickly. By comparison the massive volcano eruption in the Pacific last year, which lasted for days, released way more soot (orders of magnitude more) that the 10 000 nuclear bombs in the arsenals. And there has been no volcanic winter from it. Dont get me wrong a nuclear conflict would be tragic. The deaths from the flash burns, the wind blast, and the radiation fall out (most isotopes remaining for about 48 hours) would be a catastrophe. And by targeting cities, i e the most viable and strategic parts of countries, the targeted countries would be brought back hundreds of years. But those not touched by the burn, the blast, and the first 48 hours radiation (after 48 hours radiatiins would have mostly disappeared), will not live in a nuclear winter with no sun light. That is just bogus.

I love the music start to come in at 6:45!! hahah

theres even the man in the high castle scenario XD

Fallout from a blast in the missile silo areas would be worse because of a ground burst that would be used on hardened targets, it sucks up more debris in the fireball.

It would be cool to implement some things from universe sandbox to see what would happen to earth and would it even remain stable enough to let the people left survive.

Cool stuff, I have been following the development of this sim for about a year now, but the big question I have is how does this simulator handle escalation? Like lets say I send one tiny tactical nuke to Hong Kong as the US does China send only two nukes to me? Or does China go FULL total war immediately and launch a full strike at me? I would love to buy it for a dollar or even $5. but $30 is awefully pricey for a sim I know i will get bored of after 5 scenarios and then will only come back two once or twice a year when i get inspired to run a one off simulator when I get inspired by some movie or book. Also if i run the same scenario twice, is there any level of variation or will the consequences be identical?

@@Itraininthebogs In a nuke war like any war you would target stuff of interest. Now depending on how many nukes you got and how expansive your definition of targets of interest is pretty much anything can be targeted. But in practice the target list is smaller. There's also how overpowered nukes are compared to other weapons even the weak nukes. If you take a map of most cities and plot out likely targets:military bases, airports,ports bridges ,railway tracks ,industry, comm towers whatever and see the likely damage from your average nuke your average city is destroyed. What has been declassified indicates that a 50% destruction of a city is usually considered enough in a nuke war. If you nuked say NYC and only the Bronx is still mostly standing I doubt you would care that much if you knew that say a large military base is still around in Florida. That's why it depends heavily on intel systems. If you still have some of it you can reprogramm it fast.

No it's reasonable. Fallout and the collapse of logistics, industry, medicine and law ruin your chances of a future. Most people don't know how to avoid fallout, they wouldn't realise growing tomatoes in irradiated soil will give them radiation sickness. Rainwater will be laced with fallout, as water drains into freshwater sources it will carry fallout. Wind will carry fallout everywhere, the only reason nuclear disaster zones have been reclaimed is because of the removal of top soil. You can't grow food without removing the top soil and top soil is what contains suitable soil to actually grow enough food. Everything you can do to survive outside of a bunker will just get you killed, in weeks to month to years if you're lucky. Let's say you are lucky, you live in a remote location in a large country. You've got at most 30 years before the unavoidable fallout manifests as a cancer. Granted cancer treatment is often what makes it painful, but dying from an untreated cancer isn't any better either. Someone said half of the population will survive. They may be "Alive" but survival is going to be very tricky, over the next couple decades more and more people will be dying from radiation poisoning or secondary illness as a result (like previously mentioned cancers). Ontop of radiation, industry is gone. You can scavenge but eventually you'll need basic survival skills.

No, typically you go to shelter as the missile is still in flight. By the time it goes off you better be ready. The reality is most people are going to survive a nuclear attack because very few places in America are super densely populated, which makes a nuclear attack difficult. The biggest threat is more the lack of supplies. You probably want at least a years worth of food for example, and probably a months worth of water, even if it is just a trash can filled with water and a filter. Take a look at the Beirut explosion, that's a good idea on what it will be like. On a larger scale of course, but not that large. Most ICBMs have a "total destruction" radius of half a mile.

If you are not inside and were not warned, it all matters where you are when the bomb goes off. The type of bomb, the payload of the bomb, the altitude it detonated, the altitude you are the humidity everything is a variable. At the onset of the actual detonation, the initial radiation released is variable to where you are in relation to the bomb. Like ig you are in a city and there are buildings between you and ground zero, you will not get the initial radiation exposure as you would if you were not shielded by buildings. Many nuclear weapons are air bust and detonated above the city for the effect of destruction from the blast wave. So the fallout you refer to is what occurs after the blast wave and radioactive dust/smoke particles are brought into the air and are spread with winds and such. Being in contact or inhalation or ingestion of said particles is the killer there, unlike the thermal and radiological blast wave of the initial detonation.

@@JonathanErwin I'm somewhat on the fence as to how dangerous fallout is. I mean by theory, yes it is bad if you ingest it, but I have a really old friend who was part of the early nuke tests and he got full exposure to the fallout of multiple detonations at various distances. The dude is close to 100 years old and doesn't have cancer or anything. Of course there is no reason to not take precautions with a respirator, disposable/cleanable outer garment and such, but I think radiation is less of a danger with bombs and alpha rays unlike say a nuclear power plant which is actively producing stronger gamma radiation over an extended period of time.
