Nuclear Weapons’ Effects…or Modeling a Nuclear Bomb Near You

10/6/2017

The United States and North Korea continue to ratchet up their war of words following the North Korean foreign minister’s recent suggestion that the country might test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean.

As you follow the news, it is instructive to remember that the United States appreciates the risk of this more than most as we are the country that presided over the worst thermonuclear disaster in the world. In 1954, the United States detonated a thermonuclear device in the
Castle Bravo H-bomb test that unexpectedly released 2½ times more explosive force and radiation than our scientists anticipated. The result of this miscalculation was radiation fallout that directly affected inhabited atolls in the Pacific Ocean.

Today, as the North Koreans threaten their own H-bomb test, it is instructive, even if discomfiting, to consider the effects of a nuclear blast on an American city.
