This really depends on a number of factors, such as the yield of the weapon, the detonation altitude, and the terrain.

What was the Trinity nuclear blast radius?

The fireball was roughly 1500 feet in diameter (750 feet in radius).Blast damage was found at 10000 yards (30000 feet) to some of the bunkers.The blast was heard hundreds of miles away.


What is the blast radius of a nuclear weapon?

That depends on what you're referring to: The fireball radius (the nuclear explosion itself), the total anhiliation range radius, and etc. For example, the bomb launched on Hiroshima had a fireball of several hundred feet in radius, a 1km total destruction range radius, and severe damage for miles. For firepower bombs (nuclear bombs made for power show & not effectiveness) The Tsar bomba of USSR had 50~55 megatons of TNT firepower, a fireball with 1km+ radius, total destruction for miles, and created a sound shockwave that could be heard in Norway/Other far Northern European areas. Modern nuclear weapons don't have a single blast radius; the U.S. developed M.I.R.V.s (cluster nuclear bombs) that spread apart to create a shotgun blast of multiple nuclear explosions.


What is the blast radius for a nuclear bomb?

That is approximately proportional to the cubed root of its yield. This is also true of conventional bombs.


How big is a nuclear blast radius?

Little Boy was the nuclear bomb detonated over Hiroshima. It used uranium and had an explosive blast equivalent to 12,500 tons of TNT. A 1 megaton hydrogen bomb, hypothetically detonated on the earth's surface, has about 80 times the blast power of that 1945 explosion. Considering the tonnage of a bomb to be contant, The blast radius varies dependent on whether it is a ground burst or an airburst. Further, the height of the airburst above ground affects the radius too. At a height of 1900 feet above ground, Little Boy produced a blast radius of 1 mile; an area of some 4.7 square miles.


Did the tsunami trigger the nuclear blast?

Yes the tsunami did trigger the nuclear blast because the water got into the nuclear reactor and buggered it up

no


What would be the blast radius of a 200 megaton nuclear bomb?

Well i did some rough estimates...prob be like 56 milesA blast radius is equal to the square root of the megatonage. A 1 megaton bomb has a blast radius of severe damage of about 4 miles. Therefore a 200 megaton bomb (14 being about the square root) would have about a 56 mile radius. Though direct exposure to the explosion at that distance could probably still cause severe burns and it would probably cause damage as much as 200 miles out.

What does dangerclose pro do on call of duty modern warfare 2?

Makes killstreaks that use explosives do more damage/have a larger blast radius. Predator missile, precision airstrike, stealth bomber and AC130 are all affected I think.
