Dispersion is controlled by the microclimate near the detonation, and in most urban environments the area contaminated will be restricted, especially if the detonation occurs at ground level. <br /><br />This means that the main effect will be due to the explosion itself and contamination will be limited to a few blocks.<br /><br />There will be a prolonged period in which the contaminated area remains dangerous (decades in the case of anthrax), and clean up will be necessary.<br /><br />God forbid the terrorists should get a real nuke. That would be a true disaster.sykes.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10954672321945289871noreply@blogger.com
