Effects on Health and Enviornment. Nuclear weapons have a tremendous economic impact in addition to their effects on health and the environment. A 2005 study by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory shows that the detonation of one average-sized nuclear weapon in New York City would cost at least $10 trillion to clean up. Significant economic costs are also being incurred by nuclear weapon states that tested weapons in indigenous areas. Economic Consequences of a Radiological or Nuclear Attack.
