Examines the geographical effects of nuclear war. Looks at two
different attack scenarios and estimates the number of deaths that
could result. Presents the spatial distribution of casualties in
map form, arguing that the subject is intrinsically geographical,
and that geographers could if they wished make an important
contribution. Includes details of computer modelling of nuclear
weapon effects. Indicates a number of important topics that
still need to be examined.

United Kingdom, defence, civil defence, public safety, fire,
radiation, Hard Rock, target, survivor, land use,
casualty
