Nuclear Family Home Nuclear Bomb Blast Radius

If the yield were increased to 100kt again with an optimum air burst the radius of 10psi overpressure increases to 13 miles and the radius of thermal energy extends to 32 miles.

Nuclear war free zone sci hub extension. Russias nuclear energy agency has released never before seen footage of the test of the tsar bomba nuclear bomb in 1961 which produced the largest man man explosion in history. The first and foremost blast site of the atomic bomb is hiroshima. There have been nuclear bombs that are as high as 50 megatons which can cause third degree burns from 60 miles away and blast damage from 600 miles away.

Dropped on hiroshima japan if detonated in the center of seattle would create a relatively localized fireball just 006 miles in radius according to alex. In comparison the moab produces the equivalent of 11 tons of tnt from 8 tons of high explosive. Based upon this you could say the area of near total destruction has a radius of about 15 miles from the center of the blast or about 71 square miles.

It depends on the blast yield of the bomb. Its fireball was 5 miles in diameter everything within 35 miles was destroyed and the shockwave broke windows over 500 miles away. Air blast radius red 20psi.

But even at a distance of 26000 feet from ground zero in hiroshima some building tiles were displaced. A bomb the size of the one the us. It depends on how you define the blast radius.

The most intense air blast would have a radius of 475km and demolish heavily built concrete buildings in chalk farm london bridge chelsea and kensington among. The blast roughly as powerful as the fat man bomb dropped on nagasaki on aug. 9 1945 would leave a 100 foot deep crater at the epicenter with a radius of 170 feet.

The one dropped on hiroshima was 13 to 18 kilotons and had an effective blast radius of about two miles causing houses to implode at one mile. He claimed the bombs capabilities are comparable to nuclear weapons but unlike nuclear weaponry known for its radioactive fallout use of the weapon does not damage or pollute the environment beyond the blast radius. The aioi bridge one of 81 bridges connecting the seven branched delta of the ota river was the aiming point of the bomb.
