A web developer has created an app to allow you to work out what would happen if the city nearest you was hit by a nuclear bomb.

The program allows you to modify the size of the bomb, the number dropped and use all the data to show the size of the fireball, the area effected by radiation and the region in which you will suffer third degree burns.

It even shows an estimate of the number of fatalities and injuries.

Cheerful right!

Because we’re a curious bunch we decided to see what would happen if different size bombs were dropped on Aberdeen.

15KT – The same size dropped on Hiroshima in 1945

An estimated 30,560 people would die, with 50,840 injured.

455KT – The same size of the warhead in a Trident D5

An estimated 109,050 people would be killed with more than 87,000 injured.

100 Mt – The Tsar Bomba, the largest ever bomb designed

270,020 people would potentially be killed, with nearly 180,000 more hurt.

Why would anyone create this you ask?

Well Alex Wellerstein, the man behind the ‘Nukemap’ says on the site that he created it because “most people still have a very bad sense of what an exploding nuclear weapon can actually do.

“Some people think they destroy everything in the world all that once, some people think they are not very different from conventional bombs.
