Overview

The aim of this page is to find the area (near-total fatalities) that an explosion should cover to reach a certain AP tier.

Using the formula from, R = Y^(1/3)*0.28, where Y is the yield in kilotons and R the radius in km, so that:

• Yield*2 ==> Radius*2^(1/3) = Radius*1.26
• Yield*5 ==> Radius*5^(1/3) = Radius*1.71
• Yield*10 ==> Radius*10^(1/3) = Radius*2.1544

Since the calculator didn't give results below 1 kiloton, the above would be useful; using these lists we will find the required area.

Nuclear Explosions

These values can only be used when the detonation has a nuclear origin.

• Room level (4.8 - 17.7 m) = The size of a Tennis court, the size of a Volleyball court, the area of a typical three-bedroom house
