NUKEMAP is a website for visualizing the effects of nuclear detonations.

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.

2025年1月21日 · Depending on everything from seasonality to the size, concentration, and yield of nuclear weapons, these attacks could light off raging wildfires or leave a trail of fallout hundreds of miles long that lasts for weeks.

We built our bomb blast in close collaboration with Alex and modeled its functionality on his online nuclear weapon effects simulator, the NUKEMAP. In its first month, more than 1.4 million people viewed the bomb blast, and it was featured in major media outlets worldwide, including coverage by The Verge, Fast Company, Motherboard, and IFL Science.

This map visualizes the average risk of radiation exposure for a large portion of North America in the event of a concerted nuclear attack on US missile silos. It is based on computer simulations for each day of 2021 of the fallout that would result from such an attack on that day.

It gives information about the ranges of prompt effects (blast, heat, acute ionizing radiation), delayed effects (fallout contamination), and calculates estimates as to the numbers of possible casualties based on an underlying database of global ambient population density. NUKEMAP made an appearance on the Daily Show with John Stewart in 2013.

2016年5月12日 · There’s the blast itself, and then all the radioactive fallout to contend with. A new interactive map shows what the damage from fallout would be if nuclear bombs were dropped on target...
