Nuclear weapons arvastly more danerous than regular TNT because not only do they emit high levels of deadly radiation, which can last for decades, but even the most simple of atomic weapons, such as those used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki have a yield equivilant to twenty thousand tons of TNT (20 kilotons). Also, if used enmasse, nuclear weapons could cause a "nuclear winter", which would be the result of the dust and smoke created by nuclear blasts, which would fill the atmosphere and block out sunlight, plunging the earth into a long-lasting (I'm not sure exactly how long, but it would be more than years for sure, maybe even more than decades), radioactie winter.
