Is this example accurate?
Obviously radiation and subsequent fires and such would cause more damage. But the maps in the module show complete destruction for 10-12miles out. |
What were your calculations on range from Ground zero? I was under the impression that for every factor of ten increase in tonnage the radius only increased by two in which case the difference in radius between a 1 kt vs a 1mt weapon is from 3.8 to 30.4(origianally posted as 15.2) miles NOT 3.8 to 38 miles(I read this a long time ago and suffer from CRS(can't remember Sh....what was I saying?
)) ooops missed a doubleing...... carry on. nothing to see here..... the result is close to yours. did good....... sorry bowing out
....of course the difference between a 100mt weapon, my way versus your way gives a 20 mile closer safe area.
