Details
Newsweek reviewed the impact of US nuclear weapons on the capitals of North Korea, Russia and China. Journalists used maps created by Alex Wallerstein, a professor and nuclear technology historian, to assess the impact of using the B-83, the largest weapon currently in the U.S. arsenal.
The radius of the fireball (the inner yellow circle), in which everything will evaporate due to intense heat rising to millions of degrees, will reach about 1.59 square miles. The explosion's more moderate impact radius, covering 67.7 square miles, will destroy residential buildings and likely cause massive fires. Anyone within a 211 - square-mile radius of the explosion is at risk of third-degree burns all over the skin, often painless because they destroy painful nerves that can cause serious scarring, disability, and require amputation
It is noted that in the capital of the DPRK - Pyongyang, an estimated 1,327,820 people would have been killed and 1,105,660 injured. A nuclear strike on Moscow would have killed 1,374,840 people and injured another 3,747,220.
An estimated 1,548,460 people would have died in Beijing, and about 3,332,190 people would have been injured.
