Wind velocity=98mph.Breakdown of the Atomic Bomb's Blast Zones (http://neutrino.nuc.berkeley.edu/neutronics/todd/nuc.bomb.html)The destructive effects of a nuclear explosion result not only from the tremendous heat and pressure generated by the initial reaction but also from the release of both short- and long-term nuclear radiation. An air-detonated nuclear weapon produces energy roughly in the proportion of 50 percent in blast, or shock waves; 35 percent in heat, or thermal radiation; and 15 percent in short- and long-term nuclear radiation. The shock wave, a very high-pressure front, propagates outward at supersonic speed. Its arrival is experienced as a sudden and shattering blow followed by hurricane-force winds. The thermal radiation generated by a nuclear explosion travels at the speed of light and can burn all combustible materials for miles around. Atomic bombs causes other damage like EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) which disables all communications, travel, and machinery but is not lethal to humans. These high level detonations are hardly lethal, yet they deliver a serious enough EMP to scramble any and all things electronic ranging from copper wires all the way up to a computer's CPU within a 50 mile radius.In today's society, we don't view the atomic bomb as a big deal. We see the atomic bomb in television shows. The shows use it all the time to blow things up. We don't take it seriously. But in the future, I think that some country is going to discove...
