Question 1

How is my nuclear safety score calculated?

Accepted Answer

We identify the most plausible strategic target near your location, then model blast overpressure, thermal radiation, prompt radiation and wind-driven fallout using scaling relationships from Glasstone & Dolan's The Effects of Nuclear Weapons (1977). The four effects are combined into a 0–100 safety score.

Question 2

Is my location data stored?

Accepted Answer

No. All simulation runs locally in your browser. Your coordinates are only sent to the OpenStreetMap geocoder to convert your search text into coordinates.

Question 3

How accurate are the results?

Accepted Answer

Results are research-grade estimates with significant uncertainty. Real outcomes depend on burst height, weather, terrain, sheltering and targeting decisions that cannot be known in advance. Treat the results as educational, not predictive.
