A nuclear close call is an incident that could have led to at
least one unintended nuclear detonation or explosion. These
incidents typically involve a perceived imminent threat to
a nuclear-armed
country which could lead to retaliatory strikes against
the perceived aggressor. The damage caused by international nuclear
exchange is not necessarily limited to the participating countries,
as the hypothesized rapid climate
change associated with even small-scale regional nuclear
war could threaten food production worldwide—a scenario known
as nuclear
famine.
