 | | As for the North, a U.S. 1.2 megaton hit on South Pyeongan province’s Bukchang Air Base (Global Security.org has its complement listed at 36 Su-25s and 24 MiG-29s) could kill as many 1.35 million, depending on which way the winds were blowing. |

 | | If Bukchang AB were destroyed with a 5 kiloton nuclear warhead, it would could 6,000 casualties; with a 100 kiloton device, 100,000 casualties; a 400 kiloton device, 400,000 casualties; and if a 1.2 megaton device were used, 1.10 million casualties could be expected, according to NRDC analysis. |
