      🟡 Thermal radiation radius (3rd degree burns): 73.7 km (17,080 km²)

      Third degree burns extend throughout the layers of skin, and are often painless because they destroy the pain nerves. They can cause severe scarring or disablement, and can require amputation. 100% probability for 3rd degree burns at this yield is 13.9 cal/cm².

      Hope the air raid sirens are working then 😉

        That yellow ring represents a 100% probability of 3rd degree burns. Aside from being in a nuclear bunker underground, I have no idea what kind of cover will protect someone from that kind of injury.

          For third degree burns from thermal radiation you need line of sight to the explosion. Since basically all strategic nukes are airbursts, that means if you can see the sky, you’re fucked. But a sufficiently thick wall or a basement would probably spare you the worst of it
