Operating in show hn launch, NukeCast – If it happened today, where would the fallout go operates.

Profile

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.

Its activity falls under show hn launch; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
