How far away from the explosion of a nuke do you have to be to be unharmed?

That depends on the bombs power.
For a 50 kiloton weapon if you are anywhere within 1 km of ground zero you can pretty much kiss your tush bye-bye. The greater distance you are from the explosion the greater your chance of survival is. Your're probably completely safe at about 20 kilometres, assuming you are not in the fallout zone.
Of course if the drop a bigger weapon on you then the range of destruction increases comparitively. The largest fission bombs are about 500 kilotons, and the largest thermonuclear bombs are even bigger than that. For these I would suggest about 30 to 50 km to be safe.

How can you survive a nuclear explosion?
You can survive a nuclear explosion if you are far enough away from it for the initial heat and blast to have little or no effect on you. You then need to be deep enough underground or in a well-built shelter to avoid the radioactive fallout that would occur for days and weeks after the explosion. If you are far enough away, deep enough into a shelter, and have enough food, water, sanitation, medicine and luck, you would survive. To what end, who knows? But you'd be alive.

Can a human survive an atomic bomb explosion?
Yes, if far enough away and with a fallout shelter to protect from the radiation from fallout that might fall distant from the explosion. If closer then a blast shelter with fallout protection would be required. But all these preparations are expensive so they would not be available to everybody, and even if available quite a few people would not have the time to get to the necessary shelters.

How far can a nuke go?
Even if you are glitching and out of the map you will still die. The nuke is set to kill everyone in that whole match no matter where they may be. That is why the match is instantly ended once a nuke is called.

Can they stop the nuke on mw2?
No when its on your screwed.Player 1's turn.There is a way to PREVENT a nuke. Use the EMP and the nuke is disabled.. but you CANNOT disable a nuke. Nope. NADA.player 1's answer doesnt make senseDuskFire's Answer:To stop a Nuke, you have to either kill anybody who has 24 kills and no deaths, or use an EMP to stop a person from calling one in. But you cant stop a nuke once someone has called it, but you CAN survive one. its a little tricky, and you risk killing yourself in the process. You must get yourself into Final Stand mode (when your lying on the ground) and wait it out. You cant die via Nuke in Final Stand. The best way to do this is by getting about 10 ft away from a barrel and shoot it like bno tommarow. if your just the right distance, you will get hit by the explosion, and you might be in Final Stand (you have to have final stand as a kill streak and get 4 deaths to enable it.) but beware. if your too close, you'll get killed. if your too far, you wont sustain enough damage for final stand to kick in. once you in final stand, you will survive the nuke. you wont get anything special, but it wont go to your deaths.DuskFire's Second Answer:Just get a predator missle and keep it with you the entire match. when a Nuke goes off, wait until the thing explodes and everything goes slow-mo. open the predator missle laptop, and, when the game ends, you'll still be looking at the laptop, and you'll live.
