Where is the safest country to be in a nuclear war?
Every country with nuclear weapons is north of the equator. There are few major air currents running from north to south, most run east to west. The more barriers you put between you and high radiation areas the better. Equatorial wind currents, “trade” winds etc,,Southern africa or far south america would be best.
Which country has the least nuclear weapons?
Russia
Here is the list of all nine countries with nuclear weapons in descending order, starting with the country that has the most nuclear weapons at hand and ending with the country that has the least amount of nuclear weapons: Russia, 6,375 nuclear warheads. The United States of America, 5,800 nuclear warheads.
Is Canada safe from nuclear war?
Since the United States dropped A-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, no nuclear weapons have been used in an act of aggression. It’s hard to think of that changing but experts agree it’s just a matter of time. Still, it needs to be stressed: the likelihood of Canada being involved is very, very, very low.

What is the safest country in the world from war?
The 2021 GPI indicates Iceland, New Zealand, Denmark, Portugal, and Slovenia to be the most peaceful countries, and Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, South Sudan, and Iraq to be the least peaceful.
Where is the safest place to live in a nuclear war?
The modelled output of our crude atomic plaything produced fallout across the world, which would eventually plunge us into a nuclear winter. So where is the safest place? Our computer modelling shows that should atomic annihilation be on the cards, one of the safest places to live would be Antarctica.
How many nukes would it take to take down the US grid?
It takes six simultaneous high altitude nuclear weapons exploding to blanket the entire US grid, not one. So, only Russia and China have that capacity.

What would happen if we had an all-out nuclear war?
Combining this with numerical weather prediction data enabled us to gain an approximate idea of what could happen if we had an all-out nuclear war. The modelled output of our crude atomic plaything produced fallout across the world, which would eventually plunge us into a nuclear winter.
