What would be the fallout area if Chicago were hit with a nuclear bomb?

That would depend on yield, height of burst, if the bomb was "salted" or not, wind, and weather conditions. Fallout is very hard to predict.

If 10 titan 2 nuclear missiles hit the earth with 100 miles between each blast would mankind be wiped out from radiation or the blast?
Neither, effects would be mostly localized to 1000 mile area targeted. Effects of fallout radiation is unpredictable though due to weather, mostly wind and precipitation. Earth is far bigger.
How big of an area would a nuclear bomb destroy?
depends on yield an height/depth of burst.
What area of technology might be associated with nuclear energy?
The area of technology associated with nuclear energy is nuclear technology. Forms of nuclear technology include nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
What if a nuclear weapon detonated on the ground?
Surface bursts create craters, lots of fallout, and damage/destroy fortified underground structures; but the total area of surface damage is less than that of air bursts of similar yield because the blast wave is partially contained.
What is a Nuclear Free Zone?
See the following taken from wikipedia 'Nuclear free Zone' The meaning is what the local group decides, but it would certainly encompass being free of nuclear weapons. If a local authority which included a military nuclear weapons facility decided to ban it, it would introduce some farcical scenes, but this would probably not happen. Presumably the local group would not go so far as to ban medical use of radioisotopes. ''A nuclear-free zone is an area where nuclear weapons (see Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone) and/or nuclear power is banned. The specific ramifications of these depend on the locale in question. Many local authorities worldwide have declared themselves "nuclear-free". However, this label is largely symbolic, since most local authorities would be powerless to stop the construction of a nuclear plant if one was planned for the area. In the case of New Zealand its status as a nuclear-free zone is not symbolic but enshrined in the nation's legislation. New Zealand was the first Western-allied nation to legislate towards a nuclear free zone, effectively renouncing the nuclear deterrent.''
What is nulcear fallout?
it is what happents after a nuclear explosion usually involving radiation poisoning to the surounding area
What isNuclear fallout?
Its the nuclear dust and debris that settles in the air after a nuclear explosion. This then comes down on the ground. Its a mixture of nuclear particles, and debris from the surrounding area. This can cause radiation sickness.
What is environment fallout?
Environmental fallout is when a area/enviroment is consumed by the devistation of nuclear destruction... Therefore the only real place I have heard of having fallout is Chernobyl... This is where a Nuclear power plant in Russia had a meltdown and caused radiation to spew onto the surrounding areas. There might be more places like this but Idk.
Why are nuclear weapons so bad?
They can blow up earth.Think about Herishima.Similar thing will going to happen if the nuclear weapons are usedNo one has built or will build a nuclear weapon or enough nuclear weapons to "blow up the earth", it would have no military value. However the collateral damage in fallout from any major attack would likely kill far more people than the attack itself, and those results are unpredictable.
Does a high-altitude burst cause the purposeful dissemination of radioactive material across an area without a nuclear detonation?
No, a high altitude burst usually reduces the fallout generated, also it is a nuclear detonation.
Did area 51 test an atomic bomb?
No, while area 51 is adjacent to the Nevada Test Site no nuclear testing has been done there. It is the site used for testing top secret aircraft.Of course area 51 did receive fallout from many of the above ground nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site.
Which map is bigger Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas?
Fallout 3 For sure. Especially close to rivet city area.
How does nuclear bombing affect the environment?
It causes great damage in the local area through heat radiation, blast waves, and subsequent fires. This would probably extend for a few miles for an A-bomb, and considerably further for an H-bomb. There will also be radioactive fallout which contaminates a large area, this will depend on the wind conditions.
What is the best way to get into a heavily rediated area in Fallout 3 and not just Vault 87?
Somewhere near the Minefield, there's an old abandoned armory, in it you can find a building full of nuclear waste.
How many people can a nuclaer bomb kill?
A nuclear bomb can destroy a city and the surrounding area. Think if New York City was bomb with an atom bomb. 8 million plus people would be killed instantly and milions more would die from the fallout or burns or other injuries. Injuries would be in the millions too.
How do nuclear weapons relate to your community?
There is a large Minuteman silo complex near where I live. Any serious attack would involve hundreds of warheads on that site throwing up enough fallout to make the area I live in devoid of life for decades and risky to enter for about 200 years.
