The effects of nuclear weapons range widely:
- Blast
- Thermal flash
- Light flash (including UV)
- X-rays
- Gamma rays
- Neutron rays
- Firestorm
- Windblown fallout that can be any mix of strong alpha, beta and/or gamma emitters. Tends to concentrate in areas of rain/snow downwind of blast.
- etc.
Each of these effects can be influenced by many variables:
- Design of bomb
- Height/Depth of burst
- Overcast conditions if airburst
- Type of surface at "zero point"
- Type of material enclosing burst if subsurface burst
- etc.
All of the above interact in complex ways.
