Electromagnetic pulse from high-altitude nuclear detonations would destroy the integrated circuits in all modern electronic devices[viii], including those in commercial nuclear power plants. Every nuclear reactor would almost instantly meltdown; every nuclear spent fuel pool (which contain many times more...
哈瑞的特工身份暴露了,阿兹用尖刀抵住了海伦,威逼哈瑞对着镜头承认该组织确实掌握了核弹头,哈里无奈之下把现实说了出来:“核弹含有14.5公斤的精炼铀,引爆后爆炸力可达3万吨。”阿兹对着摄像机发表议论,叫嚣说除非美军从波斯湾撤军,否则每周将毁灭美国的一座大城市,并称进攻的第一目标将是迈阿密。
North Korean secret bomb testing fuels nuclear fears 70 high-explosive detonations over 5 years, U.S. saysJulian Coman
In the case of a nuclear bomb detonation, uranium and plutonium compounds are highly toxic and dangerous, due to the radioactive isotopes’ decay emitting high-energy alpha particles. For this reason, limiting internal exposure performs a significant role in population health and personal protective ...
This simulator maps the effect of a single nuclear bomb on an individual target. Using open-source physics and weapon models, it provides a simplified view of the aftermath of the detonation. You can target any city with over 20,000 people in the US. Air detonations are assumed to detonate...
Water readily transmits shock waves, so while being under water and in a ditch shields you from infrared and gamma radiation the shock wave may still kill you, dependent on the distance from the blast, the altitude of the detonation and the size of the bomb. For a 1 Mt...
other electrical and (especially) electronic devices. Larger microelectronic-based equipment, and devices that are connected to antennas or to the power grid at the time of the pulse, would be especially vulnerable. Deliberate regional attacks, using lower altitude nuclear detonations, are also ...
You're correct that most tactical strikes would be air bursts. With (reactivated) B57 and the (almost ubiquitous) B61 probably delivering most of the strikes during the Twilight War. Nuclear bunker busters, such as the B83 nuclear bomb, which could also be dialed into the small kiloton ran...
