  1. For those who don’t know:

    The radioactive radius of a nuclear bomb, depending on the bomb's yield, can range from a few hundred meters for a small bomb to several kilometers for a large one, with the most dangerous radiation exposure occurring within the first few miles downwind from the blast due to radioactive fallout; however, the exact distance depends heavily on weather conditions and the terrain.

    Key points about radioactive radius:

    Immediate radiation:

    The most intense radiation is experienced very close to the explosion site, within a relatively small radius, causing immediate radiation sickness to exposed individuals.

    Fallout:

    The major concern for long-term radiation exposure is the radioactive fallout, which can spread much further depending on wind patterns and can contaminate large areas downwind from the blast.

    Yield matters:

    A larger nuclear bomb will have a larger radioactive radius compared to a smaller one.

    Edit:

    The size of a nuclear bomb directly impacts the amount of fallout produced, as a larger bomb generates a more powerful explosion, propelling a larger quantity of radioactive material higher into the atmosphere, leading to a wider dispersal of fallout over a larger area when it eventually falls back to the ground; essentially, the bigger the bomb, the more potential fallout there is to spread.

    Key points about how bomb size affects fallout:

    Larger fireball:

    A larger bomb creates a bigger fireball which draws in more debris from the surrounding environment, increasing the amount of material that becomes radioactive and can be dispersed as fallout.

    Higher altitude reach:

    A bigger explosion propels radioactive particles to higher altitudes, allowing them to travel further with prevailing winds before settling as fallout.

    Increased particle size variation:

    Larger bombs can produce a wider range of particle sizes in the fallout cloud, with some particles remaining airborne for longer periods, further extending the potential fallout zone.

    Factors influencing fallout beyond bomb size:

    Detonation height:

    Exploding a bomb at a higher altitude can minimize local fallout but potentially spread radioactive material over a larger area due to wind patterns.

    Weather conditions:

    Wind direction and precipitation can significantly affect the distribution of fallout after a nuclear explosion.

    Terrain:

    The type of terrain where the bomb detonates can influence how much material is picked up and becomes part of the fallout.

  3. For those who don’t know about the missile:

    The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
    In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
    The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
