WOULD YOU SURVIVE? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF D.C. WAS HIT BY A NUKE

The National Capital Region: Key Response Planning Factors for the Aftermath of Nuclear Terrorism study considers where the most damage would fall if a nuclear bomb was set off on 16th and K streets, the heart of downtown Washington D.C.:

The Severe Damage Zone (half mile radius): Most buildings destroyed, hazards and radiation initially prevents entry into the area; low survival likelihood.

The Moderate Damage Zone (half to 1 mile radius): Significant building damage and rubble, downed utility poles, overturned automobiles, fires, and many serious injuries. Early medical assistance can significantly improve the number of survivors.

Light Damage Zone (1 to 3 miles radius): Windows broken, mostly minor injuries that are highly survavable even without immediate medical care.
