All this nuclear threat is making me wonder somethings.
Let's suppose that several nukes are detonated, the majority with large megatons of power (like 10~13 and so on), would everybody else in the world have to worry about their own safety?
Like, would that generate colateral effects poluting the water (oceans, etc) or generate "radiation clouds" or something?
I keep thinking about it because a great portion of the members of ATS are outside US, outside the "Danger Area" which Al-Qaeda aimed on.
As has been posted prior, there aren't alot of 'megaton-class' warheads around anymore. That was the trend in the early Cold War before the US and the USSR learned that the larger warheads were inefficient. They then moved to the MIRV design --- a single re-entry capsule that carried ten or more 250kt warheads that were each independently targetable. So unless we are subjected to an attack by large numbers of nukes you won't likely see any megaton-class explosions. The vast majority of warheads are in the sub 250kt range.
