Whilst the immediate number of those killed would be only in the hundreds, vast clouds of radioactive spume would blanket the state and threaten the whole of the east coast: panic, mass evacuations, lingering death and disease. By now, despite a massive clear up operation, vast areas would still be uninhabitable for decades. The economic and societal dislocation would be enormous, with 30 million people having to be relocated in the west and central USA. How would things have differed from OTL , & would or could Bush's revenge have been more drastic?
