55,000 at the height of the cold war....Calbeck said:
considering only 2 a-bombs were ever used in a battle.. and those sort of shocked the world into saying "holy shit!" and every time anyone even tests a nuke they have to warn the whole world that they're going to do it well ahead of time... it does seem a little excessive, lol
I wonder how many nukes it would take to literally break the world in half... like if you dug down deep enough and just planted nukes down there, how many would it take to actually split the world in two? I would imagine it wouldn't take 55,000
Not if America and china had miltary bases thereNimbus said:
Do you know the halflife of plutonium? I mean neither do I but you should check that out if you want to make cliams like that.John the Gamer said:
according to wikipedia, depending on the isotope of plutonium it ranges from 84 years (238pu) to 8,080,000 years (244pu).Icarion said:
If it's the 84 year halflife isotope, most of the radiation present in fallout would dissipate in about 200 years. *shrug*
Even if no nukes hit, radiation would have definitely hit everywhere.
The radioactive cloud from Chernobyl affected a lot of Europe and that was just a reactor, not a purpose built bomb.
At least a bomb kills you on sight, without making you have to go through radiation poisoning...

...Australia maybe...I think, it pretty far off but then again radiation from that incident with the power plant in russia, cher-something i can't quite recall the name
point lookout isnt a wasteland its still radiated but doing fine
maybe parts of russia maybe australia possibly parts of africa
maybe parts of russia maybe australia possibly parts of africa
Well pretty much nothing got spared from at least one nuke so no, as for the whole scheme the entire world is still going to be f-ed up the butt by radiation, so even if say Australia wasn't hit by a nuke it'd still have gotten owned by the radiation.
To put in real world perspective, if the Cold War Nukes were launched pretty much only Russia and America would have been hit by the Nuclear bombs but both countries had enough stockpiled to make the Northern and most of the Southern hemisphere uninhabitable for centuries.

Yeah ok I see your point, but remember that Both countries wanted to fuck each other up as much as possible so they'd probably try to get the long lasting isotopeAltorin said:
Switzerland, maybe?
They're neutral, and I've heard (albeit not very reliably, might wanna consider that) that they already have underground vaults IRL, so... aside from a demolished landscape, the country itself might be getting by okay.

Ever single evidence that I recal of actuall nukes existance in Fallout is the Megaton city. Which actually had something that looked like old-school big bomb, everything else is just a constant bla-bla-bla about nukes and bombs and no other evidence except SOME irradiated areas. Power of nuke in enermous amount of energy releised in a metter of seconds - explosion itself, not a resulting fallout. But in game we only see irradiated places and mutated environment, no evidences of actuall explosions.
Chernobyl, its in Ukraine, just 100 km from capital - Kiev. It's not comparible to nukes, nukes leave much smaller fallout.Christopher N said:
