  Is the source code available so that others can host?

    All the equations used to calculate blast, radiation and heat are public domain and can be found in the AEC/DOE publication "Effects of Nuclear Weapons". The effects, thanks to the glory of physics, are mostly simple polynomials with kilotonnage and distance (math.h pow()). It could easily be implemented by a high school programmer (at least of my era). The graphics is probably the hardest part.
