That would depend on yield, height of burst, if the bomb was "salted" or not, wind, and weather conditions. Fallout is very hard to predict.

What radius of land was affected by nuclear fallout after the attack at Hiroshima?

The affected radius of land from nuclear fallout after the Hiroshima bombing was roughly 10 km (6.2 miles) from ground zero. This area suffered substantial damage and contamination from the blast and radiation.


What if a nuclear weapon detonated on the ground?

Surface bursts create craters, lots of fallout, and damage/destroy fortified underground structures; but the total area of surface damage is less than that of air bursts of similar yield because the blast wave is partially contained.


If 10 titan 2 nuclear missiles hit the earth with 100 miles between each blast would mankind be wiped out from radiation or the blast?

The impact of 10 Titan 2 nuclear missiles would cause widespread devastation, with immediate blast effects and subsequent radiation exposure affecting a large area. While it would not completely wipe out mankind, the destruction and radiation fallout would have severe consequences on human life, infrastructure, and the environment. Recovery would be difficult and long-term effects could be significant.


What is left of an exploding nuclear bombs?

After a nuclear bomb explodes, the area is left with devastation including destruction of buildings, radioactive fallout, fires, and severe injuries and fatalities. The long-term effects can include radiation poisoning, cancer, and environmental contamination.


What would a 90 Gigaton nuclear bomb be like?

A gigaton is 1000 megatons so it would be destroy an an area the size of Louisiana. But of course there is no such thing as a gigaton for bombs. IN FACT, there are already 1+ gigaton nuclear weapons. A 1 GT bomb would destroy an area the size of Texas, just with the expansive wave. A 90 GT bomb could change the planet trajectory.

What isNuclear fallout?

Its the nuclear dust and debris that settles in the air after a nuclear explosion. This then comes down on the ground. Its a mixture of nuclear particles, and debris from the surrounding area. This can cause radiation sickness.

Why are nuclear weapons so bad?

They can blow up earth.Think about Herishima.Similar thing will going to happen if the nuclear weapons are usedNo one has built or will build a nuclear weapon or enough nuclear weapons to "blow up the earth", it would have no military value. However the collateral damage in fallout from any major attack would likely kill far more people than the attack itself, and those results are unpredictable.


Does a high-altitude burst cause the purposeful dissemination of radioactive material across an area without a nuclear detonation?

No, a high altitude burst usually reduces the fallout generated, also it is a nuclear detonation.

What is environment fallout?

Environmental fallout is when a area/enviroment is consumed by the devistation of nuclear destruction... Therefore the only real place I have heard of having fallout is Chernobyl... This is where a Nuclear power plant in Russia had a meltdown and caused radiation to spew onto the surrounding areas. There might be more places like this but Idk.


Did area 51 test an atomic bomb?

No, while area 51 is adjacent to the Nevada Test Site no nuclear testing has been done there. It is the site used for testing top secret aircraft.Of course area 51 did receive fallout from many of the above ground nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site.

What is the best way to get into a heavily rediated area in Fallout 3 and not just Vault 87?

Somewhere near the Minefield, there's an old abandoned armory, in it you can find a building full of nuclear waste.

How many people can a nuclaer bomb kill?

A nuclear bomb can destroy a city and the surrounding area. Think if New York City was bomb with an atom bomb. 8 million plus people would be killed instantly and milions more would die from the fallout or burns or other injuries. Injuries would be in the millions too.
