Thanks for the link, I had not seen that before. This shows very well how large regions, which are highly populated would be affected by a large nuclear incident in Europe. Even if one assumes, that every endangered citizen could be evacuated without suffering from any direct damange, it would mean that far to many people would lose their housing and that the food production in the affected regions would suffer.
