There are several factors affecting the radius of nuclear fallout.
- The size of the explosion will effect the distance.
- Weather can affect it such as wind speed.
- The largest nuclear fallout was the Chernobyl Explosion in Ukraine in 1986.
The following is from wikipedia,
'The plume drifted over large parts of the western Soviet Union, and much of Europe. As of December 2000, 350,400 people had been evacuated and resettled from the most severely contaminated areas of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. According to official post-Soviet data, up to 70% of the fallout landed in Belarus. '

How far did the nuclear particles of hiroshima travel?

Do particles turn into fallout when they are in a nuclear explosion?
You basically have it. Anything lofted by the updraft in the stem eventually becomes fallout (although some small amount may not be radioactive).Nuclear fallout is composed of:Oxidized residue of the vaporized bomb (highly radioactive fission products, unused nuclear fuels, bomb casing, etc.)Particles of the substrate below or around the burst (dirt, rock, water, etc.)Any particles (from anywhere) exposed to the high neutron flux of the fireball will become radioactive.etc.
Why did the nuclear bombs go off in fallout?
Fallout is any debris picked up by a blast or strong updraft when it returns to earth, it is not unique to nuclear bombs or even explosions, even large fires generate fallout it just isn't radioactive.

What are the dangers if a nuclear reactor explodes?
The main one is disbursal of its radioactive contents into the environment. The fallout from this has the potential to be much worse than the fallout from nuclear weapons, as the amount of material inside the reactor that can be disbursed is far larger than the fallout that can be generated by any nuclear weapon ever deployed.
