Short answers about this 3D nuke simulator, the numbers on screen, and Pro. For the full legal terms, read Terms of Use.
Is NukeSimulation.com a free nuke simulator?
Yes. You can search a city, set yield and burst height, and explore blast radius, thermal effects, simplified fallout, and estimated casualties without an account. Photorealistic 3D city tiles are Pro.
How accurate are the blast radius and casualty numbers?
They are educational estimates. Blast and thermal rings use simplified yield scaling. They ignore terrain, weather, shielding, and weapon design. Death and injury counts use WorldPop 2020 population on an approximately 1 km grid and ignore time of day, commuting, shelter, and evacuation. Do not treat them as a forecast.
Can I simulate a nuclear detonation on any city?
You can search most populated places, or pick a preset city or a historic test site such as Trinity or Bikini Atoll. Photorealistic 3D buildings exist only where Google 3D Tiles cover the area and only on Pro.
What does the fallout overlay show?
A simplified 48-hour unsheltered dose model with a uniform wind. It ignores rain, terrain, and shelter. It is not a weather product or a civil-defense map. Details are in the on-site disclaimer and the about page.
What is Pro?
A time-limited pass (week, month, or three months) sold by Polar as merchant of record. It unlocks photorealistic 3D cities. The free simulator still includes the globe, yields, rings, fallout, and casualty estimates.
Is this a targeting or civil-defense tool?
No. It is an educational visualization. Do not use it to plan, target, threaten, prepare a response, or make a decision that affects people or property. For official guidance, use government sources.
