How does nuclear power kill you?
Nuclear power itself does not kill you unless there is a steam explosion like at Chernobyl. It is the radiation either from fission products or direct neutron bombardment which will do that, and the effects of excessive radiation are well known and documented.
How fast can nuclear radiation travel?
At the same speed as the wind that is carrying it (if it is airborne). Potentially very fast if its in a hurricane :)
Does a nuclear bomb hurt?
no...because if you were close enough you would be vaporized on contact and if youre not nuclear radiation would kill you

If it is borne by wind blown dust and small particles, then as fast as the wind, potentially. If it is direct radiation like gamma rays, then this travels at the speed of light.
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
