NUKE IRAN

What would the effects be of an Israeli atomic attack against Tehran? The figure to the right of the matrix above shows the types of damage expected for a 100 kiloton nuclear warhead. I found it and an excellent estimate of the associated hazards at http://www.1913intel.com/. There the effects radii for 100 kiloton  blast are as follows:

(Smallest to largest):

Fireball radius: 0.19 km / 0.12 mi
Maximum size of the nuclear fireball; relevance to lived effects depends on height of detonation.

Air blast radius: 1.28 km / 0.8 mi
20 psi overpressure; heavily built concrete buildings are severely damaged or demolished; fatalities approach 100%.

Radiation radius: 2.02 km / 1.25 mi
500 rem radiation dose; between 50% and 90% mortality from acute effects alone; dying takes between several hours and several weeks.

Air blast radius: 3.38 km / 2.1 mi
4.6 psi overpressure; most buildings collapse; injuries universal, fatalities widespread.

Thermal radiation radius: 4.54 km / 2.82 mi
Third-degree burns to all exposed skin; starts fires in flammable materials, contributes to firestorm if large enough.

“A convenient rule of thumb for estimating the short-term fatalities from all causes due to a nuclear attack is to count everyone inside the 5 psi blast overpressure contour around the hypocenter as a fatality. In reality, substantial numbers of people inside the contour will survive and substantial numbers outside the contour will die, but the assumption is that these two groups will be roughly equal in size and balance out. This completely ignores any possible fallout effects.” (Carey Sublette).
