     I've seen many charts, graphs, etc. on the subject of nuclear
devistation, detonation, etc. These feature the details of time lag, 
distance cloud travels, temperatures, height of cloud, etc. Really interesting
from the standpoint of learning how incredible nuclear bombs can be. I'd
think the best place to look would be the ol' library (why not?). Though the
math involved is going to be a pain.. the resulting data is neat (especially
when brought to common-terms). By far this is all going to take a lot of work
[research]... seems like anything to do with details on nuclear subjects is
 hard to find. As to finding a computer program directly to do the modeling..
GOOD LUCK. I think the research & design-it-yourself method will prove more  
valuable (especially in terms of what you learn).
     Just entering X and saying Y happens isn't going to mean a lot..
