Article
One of many possible fallout patterns mapped by the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency that could occur during a nuclear war (based on 1988 data). Atmospheric nuclear weapon tests almost doubled the concentration of radioactive C in the Northern Hemisphere called the bomb pulse, before levels slowly declined following the Partial Test Ban Treaty.
