Nuclear map of America reveals how FAST people in each state would die

"Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst modeled a worst-case attack on the 450 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) silos clustered across the Midwest, which are considered prime targets because disabling them early would cripple America's nuclear arsenal. Using historical wind patterns recorded through 2021, scientists projected how radioactive fallout would spread if each silo were struck with a warhead roughly 50 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima."

"According to their research, scientists determined that parts of the western US, stretching from Washington down to Texas, could be among the least affected regions in the immediate aftermath of a nuclear strike targeting US missile silos. Coastal regions of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and much of Florida would also see lighter fallout exposure."

"These areas could see doses as low as 0.001 grays (Gy) - a unit used to measure how much radiation energy the human body absorbs - in the days following an attack, which is relatively close to the annual public radiation limit. States in New England, the Northeast and the more eastern parts of the Midwest would also face lower levels of initial fallout exposure."

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst modeled a worst-case nuclear scenario targeting the 450 intercontinental ballistic missile silos concentrated in the Midwest. Using historical wind patterns through 2021, they projected radioactive fallout distribution from warheads approximately 50 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. The analysis identified western US regions from Washington to Texas, along with southeastern coastal areas including North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida, as potentially experiencing lighter fallout exposure. These areas could receive radiation doses as low as 0.001 grays, approaching annual public radiation limits. New England, the Northeast, and eastern Midwest regions would also face relatively lower initial fallout exposure compared to directly targeted areas.
