Upon detonation of a 750-kiloton nuclear bomb in Westminster, a fireball with a 950-meter radius would instantly vaporize everything inside. Areas within five kilometers, including the City of London, Camden Town, Kensington, and Brixton, would face massive destruction, potentially killing over 250,000 and injuring 600,000.
Within 10 kilometers, radiation would cause third-degree burns, igniting flammable materials and triggering further explosions, possibly killing another 450,000. A shockwave would shatter windows within 18 kilometers, reaching Hounslow, Edgeware, and Enfield. Fallout could extend 5-10 kilometers, affecting Essex or Surrey. Total casualties are estimated at 850,000 dead and two million injured.
A ground-level explosion would expand the fallout, potentially reaching Manchester. London's infrastructure is ill-equipped for such a disaster; 11 major hospitals would be within the blast radius, and remaining hospitals would be overwhelmed. There have been over 20 near-nuclear catastrophes. Nuclear weapons are a real threat.
