What would happen if a nuclear bomb detonated in Bracknell?

In December last year, Russia said it may be forced to deploy mid-range nuclear attacks and citizens have been prepped for a nuclear 'war'.

In the early 1970s, a secret list of 106 cities, towns and bases have been listed as 'probably nuclear targets', according to documents released by the National Archives.

During the cold war, a list of the places thought likely to come under nuclear attack by the Soviet Union was agreed by military commanders, the intelligence services and the Cabinet Office under Conservative prime minister Edward Heath.

Fast forward to now, intelligence suggests Russia is planning a "lighting war" to take out Kyiv as British staff and their families begin to leave the Ukrainian capital.

Even though this is happening 3,486 miles away, an website shows what impact a nuclear bomb would have anywhere in the world.

Outrider gives users the chance to see what would happen if a nuclear bomb was detonated in your hometown.

It sounds depressing, but the website shows you an estimation of the number of fatalities and injuries, as well as where the fireball, radiation, shockwave and heat will reach to.

An interactive map shows you there would be 59,632 fatalities if a nuclear bomb detonated in Bracknell Forest.

42,144 people would be injured.

According to the website, people in this radius would absorb 500 rem of radiation - a potent dose 800 times greater than the average exposure for Americans.

If there was an explosion in Bracknell, people would suffer with fatal third degree burns from the heat. The website says "within this radius here, wood, clothing, paper and plastics would catch fire. Even outside this boundary, the heat would still be intense enough to cause first and second degree burns."
