NUKEMAP Bombing Results

The target I chose was Boston, Massachusetts. The yield (in kilotons) was 15000 and the bomb used was the "Castle Bravo", the largest US bomb tested (15 Mt). Estimated fatalities was 1,181,370, and 738,960 injuries, which is a very large number. It exploded in Boston and went all the way to Foxborough and it's effects went all the way up the East coast. This would have had a large impact on Boston and all of it's near and far surrounding cities. There would be an expected %0%-90% mortality rate from the radiation effects without medical treatment. All of Boston was engulfed in the radiation radius. All the way up the East coast through Maine was caught in the thermal radiation radius, causing 3rd degree burns.
