Oh great, I Live and work w/in 12 miles of Downtown L.A. I just never thought about it happening seriously.AND I only checked the 1 Megaton Blast.I'm sure it would be Larger than 1 Megaton if one was dropped here.This is really an eye-opener for me.Fascinatingly (temporarily)scary,when you think about the fallout zone going out 50 miles to the 15 freeway.

The yeild of nuclear weapons has been going down as the accuracy of weapons have gone up.
The average USAF ICBM busting warhead is of a 200 kiloton yield. Trident 2 warheads are half that, depending on the model on the reentry vehicle.
