The effects of the only nuclear war ever fought were roughly 200,000 Japanese dead and 2 Japanese cities destroyed. The war last only 3 days and consumed only 2 bombs (a third was being prepared for use a few weeks later if Japan did not surrender). Bombs are larger now and there are plenty of them ready to go.
