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 Km
  • Immediate immersion in whole-body fire: 10 Km
  • Third degree burns: 12 Km
  • Second degree burns: 15 Km
  • First degree burns: 19 Km

There are also intermediate term effects due to radiation exposure, and long term effects due to radioactive fallout.
