01Brutal Nuclear Doctrine02A Nightmare “Plan A”03A Primary Target for Annihilation044 Steps to Surviving the Immediate Aftermath of a Nuclear AttackDespite the technological sophistication of nuclear weapons, the doctrine dictating their use—“mutually assured destruction” (MAD)—is caveman-simple. Coined by military analyst Donald Brennan in 1962, the concept was robust enough to maintain a nuclear stalemate between the USSR and America throughout the Cold War. But it’s also simple enough for a...
In 2019, Princeton’s Science and Global Security Programdeveloped a “Plan A” simulation to simulate how limited tactical weapons could rapidly spiral into an all-out nuclear assault and leave 91.5 million dead in a matter of hours. Here’s a glimpse of what the Russia nuclear attack map would look like: As you can see, what begins with a one-for-one...
Suppose Russia attempts an alpha strike against America, or a counterforce measure to target our nuclear weapons. In that case, their initial targets will be relatively remote (with the notable exception of Washington, D.C.). Here's a map of how that would look: (Image courtesy of Business Insider) If the targets look a bit out-of-the-way, this is ...
Panic will likely rule those critical first hours after a nuclear attack, as civilians struggle to comprehend the scale of destruction they’re witnessing. The first impulse many people will have is getting in their car and driving, as they’ll want to get as far away as possible from ground zero. Problem is, vehicles offer very little protection fro...
As you can see in the map above, some places will likely be safe after just a few days—while others may remain hazardous for weeks or even months. And while it’s best to shelter-in-place for the duration, it’s not always practical—mainly if you (or your family) are in one of the hotspots mentioned above. So let’s look at a few practical PPE upgrade...
As you can see, mutually assured destruction is practically absolute. While the initial nuclear war would primarily kill Americans and Russians, the following nuclear winter would starve most people all across the globe, with the eventual death toll for starvation swelling to five billion. Note that these famines would extend to every part of the w...
To produce Under the Nuclear Cloud, we simulated the radioactive fallout resulting from a concerted nuclear attack on the 450 US missile silos 365 times, once for each day of 2021. Each silo is targeted with one warhead generating an explosive yield of 800 kilotons of TNT equivalent.
Oct 20, 2020 · Nukewatch’s Missile Silo Project, which resulted in the mapping of one thousand missile silo sites across the country, was intended to be a high profile project capable of furthering public discussion on nuclear weapons. At all six missile fields, local activists volunteered to drive the countryside and record driving directions to all ...
