Show HN: NukeCast – If it happened today, where would the fallout go

https://nukecast.com/
18•todd_tracerlab•1w ago
I built NukeCast because I’ve always wanted a tool that answers one question fast. If it happened today, where would the fallout plumes go and where would you drive to get out of it. NukeCast uses weather forecasts to drive a Lagrangian particle dispersion model with wet and dry deposition. Scenarios are defined by selecting strike site(s) and yield(s); the setup uses preselected US sites and yields based on FEMA emergency data. Outputs are shown as estimated ground level radiation dose at the surface over a 12 hour integration. Free to use with limits, and a paid tier if you want more runs/features because AWS compute time ain’t cheap.

It complements https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ nicely. As someone not living in the US, I'd find it interesting to at least have some other non-US cities available in the free plan though.

Something that I always wondered about this tool, and why I bucketed it in my mind as a "cool but ultimately boring toy" - why are all effects perfectly spherical? Surely the actual effect, especially for lower-yield devices, would be meaningfully affected by local topography and even buildings?

$10 a month for premium? Now that is a niche market right there

They probably make most of their money from enterprise licenses for Iran.

I appreciate San Antonio being included, but you may want to shift your exact target a bit to be more accurate. Probably over to Fort Sam Houston, but I'm no expert. Right now it looks like they just really hate the Deco District.

Alaska and Hawaii effects are not visible on this. Very cool tool.
