Transmutation occurs when a fusion bomb (H-bomb) detonates:

The Primary (A-bomb/fission) converts a heavy element like plutonium or uranium into lighter elements, such as strontium, etc...

The Secondary (H-bomb/fusion part) converts a light element into heavier elements, like Hydrogen into Helium.

What is the blast radius of a hydrogen bomb?

Depends entirely on its yield. Some hydrogen bombs had yields less than 1MT, some more. Others could provide a wide range of yields, all in one bomb. The user just needed to select the best yield for the particular application. So a 1MT bomb would have a blast radius of several 10s of miles, a 50MT bomb would have a blast radius of 100's of miles. The curvature of the Earth can help protect from heat and radiation, but the blast wave can reach beyond the horizon due to atmospheric focusing.
