One the oldest and most reliable nuclear blast calculators has seen a “tsunami” of traffic in recent days, perhaps unsurprising given the constant stream of news about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
This week in the Galaxy Brain newsletter, the Atlantic writer Charlie Warzel interviewed Alex Wellerstein, creator of Nukemap, about the increase in popularity. Nukemap calculates blast radius, human death toll and other effects of a nuclear bomb at a given location. That means people can estimate what might happen in their hometown if a bomb were to go off.
