Nuclear WeaponsLong Term Effects
THREAT TO FOOD SAFETY: Radioactive fallout could make large areas unsuitable for food production for a very long time.
DISPLACEMENT: Those living within 20 to 50 km radius from ground zero would seek to avoid risk of radiation and infrastructure collapse by abandoning the area.
ECONOMIC DISRUPTION:One nuclear explosion could destroy productive capacities, infrastructure and communication networks of an entire area, affect whole country & even whole region.
ENVIRONMENTAL COLLAPSE: One nuclear explosion widespread radioactive contamination, making food + water unusable.
Several nuclear explosions enough soot would rise to the atmosphere to cause large fall in temperatures with devastating impact for global production of staple crops (e.g. rice, maize) on which millions depend.
