NUKEMAP is designed first and foremost to run very quickly in a web browser so that puts some limitations on its possible fidelity. But as a back-of-the-envelope estimate it should be good-enough for most people's needs.
TLDR: i take the long way around as usual to ask if i could use nukemap as a source with certain stipulations Could one use nukemap as a source for a paper or a book on fatality count caused by certain weapons in certain areas? Granted nukemap isn't like some government site, and the info may be up to date with what we do know of a certain weapon.
Hi guys — I am the person who made the NUKEMAP, and its upgraded versions, NUKEMAP2 (which lets you do much more wonky stuff, like see the number of fatalities that result from your choices, as well as nuclear fallout), and NUKEMAP3D (which allows you to visualize the results as a 3D cloud projected into Google Earth).
It's a fun little tool. I'd love to see one that expands on it. Multiple warheads over a given time (do a complete strike), import weather conditions to show fallout, maybe some "Streetview" style things where you can watch the explosion in "real time" from wherever you want. That's be more of a nuclear simulator than just a nukemap, though.

Well you can't using nukemap. The code above explicitly caps out at 100MT. I would suspect there is a reason for that, I bet the curves it's using don't hold up at that yield, and it says anything over 30MT is already an extrapolation.
I also am the creator of the NUKEMAP, a mashup nuclear weapons effects simulator, and have just this past week launched NUKEMAP2, which added much more sophisticated effects codes, fallout mapping, and casualty estimates (!!) for the first time, and NUKEMAP3D, which allows you to visualize nuclear explosions using the Google Earth API.

Nukemap has one of them, the Topol ICBM, as a preset with an 800 kT warhead. In general, the size of a modern warhead tends to be a few hundred kilotons. As missiles got more accurate, it became more efficient to put many small warheads on a missile than to use a single huge bomb.
