I remember seeing an article in BULLETIN OF THE ATOMIC SCIENTISTS which
calculated 1000 warheads of 1 megaton each would be enough to "destroy"
Europe.  Their criterion was producing enough fallout to kill everybody
who wasn't in a real deep shelter.  They assumed ground bursts to maximize
fallout.  I believe the article appeared in 1978 or thereabouts.
