About NukeSim
NukeSim exists to help people understand what nuclear weapons do, how their effects are modeled, and why that scale of destruction matters.
Mission
The project was built for public education. It focuses on blast, thermal radiation, fallout, and the humanitarian consequences of nuclear detonations in real places.
The point is not spectacle. The point is context: scale, proximity, and consequence.
The Simulator
The simulator places modeled nuclear effects on an interactive map. Users can move the target, change the weapon, adjust wind for fallout, and inspect damage zones directly.
It was inspired by NUKEMAP, while taking its own direction in presentation and site structure.
Science
Models draw on established public research into overpressure, thermal radiation, fallout, and scaling laws.
Like all public simulators, this one uses simplifications. Real outcomes vary with burst height, terrain, weather, construction, density, and shelter quality.
