About NukeSim
NukeSim is a website for exploring what different nuclear weapons would do in specific locations. Users place a target pin on a map, choose a weapon, and view blast, thermal, radiation, and fallout overlays. The site is described as inspired by NUKEMAP.
The site also includes a database of active and retired nuclear weapons, a set of educational articles written by the site, and a news section that displays an RSS feed of nuclear, policy, science, and defense coverage from external sources. A legend on the homepage explains what each overlay represents, including fireball, blast rings, thermal rings, radiation rings, and fallout.
Key features
- Map-based simulator with blast, thermal, radiation, and fallout overlays
- Draggable target pin for choosing a location on the map
- Preset scenario, including a Hiroshima scenario
- Global arsenal database of active and retired nuclear weapons
- In-house educational articles in the Intel section
- Live RSS news feed drawn from external nuclear, policy, science, and defense sources
Best for: People who want to understand how different nuclear weapons might affect specific places, with related reference material and news in one location.
Good for
- Homepage includes a legend explaining each overlay type
- Combines the simulator, arsenal data, articles, and news in one site

NukeSim FAQ
What do the rings in the simulator mean?
Blast rings show pressure damage by distance. Thermal rings show burn severity zones. Radiation rings show dose severity bands. The fireball marks total destruction closest to the center, and fallout shows a wind-driven contamination path.
Where does the news on the site come from?
The news section displays a live RSS feed of external coverage from nuclear, policy, science, and defense sources.
