NUCLEAR WEAPONS EFFECTS CALCULATOR The heat and blast effects of a nuclear explosive detonated in a major American city can be readily estimated using a new online tool from the Federation of American Scientists. The Nuclear Weapons Effects Calculator, devised by FAS staff member Blake Purnell, is based on data from Glasstone's canonical Effects of Nuclear Weapons. The Java-based calculator allows the user to vary the size of the modeled blast (in kilotons) as well as the height of detonation over one of 25 American cities. "This is just a very graphic way to let anyone see what the effect of a bomb on his city would be," said Ivan Oelrich, FAS strategic security project director, as quoted in Science magazine (May 13, 2005, p. 933).
