Best Answer

That is complicated:

  • Depends on yield and height/depth of burst.
  • Depends on several features of bomb design.
  • Depends on halflives of radiological contaminants produced.
  • Depends on decontamination effort attempted and degree of success.
  • Depends on weather.

What is the difference between a bomb and an nuclear bomb?

Basically, a conventional bomb uses a chemical explosive as the source of its destructive power. A nuclear weapon uses nuclear material to create an explosion. A nuclear explosion is much larger, and also emits ionizing radiation. A chemical weapon does not emit any radiation. A nuclear weapon's yield is measured in Kilotons (thousand tons). In very simplified terms, this means that a nuclear weapon with a 475 kiloton yield produces an explosion comparable to 475,000 tons of TNT (TNT is a chemical explosive). That's A LOT of TNT and it would take up a bit of space. A nuclear weapon with this yield may only be a few feet long and a foot wide, and the actual nuclear material may be the size of a grapefruit.
