US Nuclear War Plan

This June 2001 report from NRDC's nuclear program offers an independent assessment of the U.S. nuclear war planning process and the assumptions and logic of the SIOP, or Single Integrated Operational Plan, a Cold War relic that continues to guide U.S. nuclear war plans. Using customized computer software and a vast aggregation of declassified and open-source data to closely approximate the tools that SIOP planners use, NRDC has simulated a U.S. attack against Russian nuclear forces and attacks against Russian cities. The report includes a description of the history, evolution and working process of SIOP; detailed descriptions of the NRDC nuclear war simulation model and target database; and policy recommendations.

And in case of a Russian counterstrike this might be useful: http://www.oism.org/nwss/

Sadly, neither the NRDC doc nor the DoE pub devote any attention to dealing with and surviving the mutant zombie threat:gun:, which surely must rate as one of the principal challenges to one's survival in a post-Nuke War environment. This strikes me as being a rather critical omission.

Well the UKs plan was hide in the ground for 2 weeks and see what happened.

Though they made a critical error in planning to use telephone lines, Hmmm.

If anyone wants Info on the ROC, let me know.
