About Nuclear Blast Simulator
🎯
Our Mission
The Nuclear Blast Simulator is an educational platform designed to help people understand the devastating effects of nuclear weapons through interactive visualization. By providing accurate, science-based simulations, we aim to promote awareness about nuclear weapons and contribute to informed discussions about global security and disarmament.
📚
Educational Purpose
This simulator serves as an educational tool for:
- Students learning about nuclear physics and international relations
- Educators teaching about the nuclear age and its implications
- Researchers studying nuclear weapon effects and policy
- Citizens seeking to understand nuclear weapons and their impact
- Policy makers and analysts working on nuclear disarmament
✨

Scientific Accuracy
Our simulations are based on established scientific models and publicly available data:
- Blast scaling laws from "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons" (Glasstone & Dolan)
- Overpressure calculations using standard atmospheric models
- Thermal radiation effects based on weapon yield
- Fireball radius calculations using established formulas
- Surface vs. air burst optimization models
Note: Actual effects would vary based on altitude, weather conditions, terrain, and other factors. Our simulations provide educational approximations, not precise predictions.
🛡️
Privacy & Ethics
We are committed to responsible use of this educational tool:
- No personal data collection beyond basic analytics
- All calculations performed locally in your browser
- No targeting data or sensitive information stored
- Educational purpose only - not for military or harmful use
- Open source code for transparency and trust
