Millions of sq miles, huh?

From a single blast?

BS.

Do a little math. The 1.4 megaton blast 400 miles above Johnston Island in 1962 damaged electronic circuitry in Hawaii 860 miles away. An area with a radius of 860 miles is over 2,300,000 square miles. So, damage 860 miles away. If that's the periphery of the effects, then everything within that periphery is getting at least that much energy and as one travels toward the center of the area even more.

“damaged electronic circuitry in Hawaii 860 miles away”

What kind of damage? Can I look this up somewhere?

The other guy is claiming “not semicodocutor stuff, but transformers getting cooked”.

I’ll stick with my claim: BS.
