    I wonder how far away and how many people would be affected by fall-out, today?

      According to the map simulator the nuclear fallout only seems to happen at surface detonation with modern bombs. I couldn’t tell you if it’s accurate and what the science behind it is, but a bomb would most likely be detonated in the air to maximize casualties, it’s just that much stronger.

        I can’t begin to imagine, especially with weather variables, wind, rain, etc.

        The increased power of modern bombs actually causes less fallout because more of the fissile material is detonated by more efficient modern weapons.

          I still don’t think they’re ok.
