That depends on yield, height/depth of burst, distance from burst, and amount and type of fallout at the location. Without knowing all these parameters and performing a complicated and approximate calculation, no estimates can be given.

How long do nuclear bombs last?
if there was a atomic bomb then it could last for weeks and daysthe effects on people could last for years
What is the radius of damage that the nuclear bomb can do?
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question for a number of reasons. There is no standard nuclear bomb: the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima (Little Boy) had a yield of less than 20,000 tons of TNT. In 1961 the USSR exploded a nuclear bomb (Tsar Bomba) with a yield of 50,000,000 tons of TNT. The damage that a nuclear device can deliver depends on the altitude at which it is detonated. Also, in addition to the immediate effect of the blast, there are long term effects from radioactive debris being blown into the upper atmosphere and coming down later.As an example of the latter, the explosion at the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl led to radioactive rainfall in the UK. Such effects will depend on prevailing winds and other weather conditions.
What is more powerful a tornado or nuclear bomb?
An atomic bomb has more destructive potential, but a large, long-lived tornado would probably release more energy than a small nuclear weapon.
How long does a nuclear reactor last?
40 to 50 years
How do you protect your self from nuclear bombs?
If there is a nuclear bomb that explodes you will not be able to protect yourself. It will destroy and contaminate all of the surroundings for a long distance depending on the size of the bomb. Even several years of Iwo Jima and Hiroshima that are still people affected by the bombs.

What are negative effects of Nuclear bomb?
Long Term effects due to radiation Massive Damage to buildings Radioactive area where the bomb exploded
Why used nuclear bombs at war time?
They're very destructive and last for a long time, In other words, once you've blown up a nuclear bomb somewhere, it will still be dangerous after the initial explosion has taken place. When a nuclear bomb is used there would be nuclear radiation that would still be present where the bomb hit for quite a while

How long does it take to make uranium for a nuclear bomb?
Depending on the size and type of the bomb and also on the enrichment installation available.
How long after Germany surrendered was the nuclear bomb finished?
2 months 8 days
How long can a time bomb virus last?
A very long time.
What is more powerful a tornado or nuclear bomb?
An atomic bomb has more destructive potential, but a large, long-lived tornado would probably release more energy than a small nuclear weapon.
When did they realize the nuclear bomb was dangerous?
Long before the first one was made. That was the purpose of making them: to have a very dangerous bomb (all bombs are dangerous).
What are some lasting effects from the atom bomb in hiroshima?
Because they way it works it they smash plutonium ( which is radioactive) to split an atom. This produces radiation which is harmful and can last a long time.
How does an atomic bomb affect the people around it?
The damage from a nuclear bomb depends upon how close you are to the point of detonation and the yield of the bomb. For a 1 Megaton bomb, the immediate effects are:Instantaneous death: 2.5 KmImmediate immersion in whole-body fire: 10 KmThird degree burns: 12 KmSecond degree burns: 15 KmFirst degree burns: 19 KmThere are also intermediate term effects due to radiation exposure, and long term effects due to radioactive fallout.For more information, follow the related link below.
