Guest stevieintoon Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 ..hit the toon, if it went off right over Grey's Monument, what is the nearest point to the epicentre you could survive the initial blast? Like if I was having a pint in Whitley Bay, would that be far away enough to survive the blast. Obviously the radiation would get you, but what distance from the toon would be completely wiped out? Would it flatter Sunderland too. St James' Park would be gone in a mili-second but surely some buildings would survive. Say you were in Hexham and the wind was strongly blowing over towards the North Sea surely you would initially get away with not being effected by the blast and the radiation???

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) To be honest, I'd much rather be taken out by the initial blast than slowly dieing during a nuclear winter.

rikko 20 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 As the resident nuclear expert. I have nae idea, depends on the power of the bomb really. Is it a Trident style ICBN or a suitcase packed with polonium. If its the latter you're fine. The former you'll most likely be vapourised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 i reckon it would depend on the height that the bomb was detonated Rob W will know - he worked on the Manhatton project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevieintoon Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 i reckon it would depend on the height that the bomb was detonated Rob W will know - he worked on the Manhatton project. Most of them go off one mile above the ground. I can't see the blast wiping out Whitley Bay if goes off ove the toon. People one mile away from the epicentre of Hiroshima survived.

I think modern ICBMs are a good deal more powerful than the H-Bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a powerful enough bomb you could have significant damage within that sort of range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a powerful enough bomb you could have significant damage within that sort of range. It's still quite a range, we should narrow it down a bit. What if it's a selfmade nuclear bomb made out of an old boiler... Anyway... http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Science/Nuke.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
