This depends on many variables including yield, weather, height of burst, "salting" of the tamper, etc. Without knowing these your question cannot be answered.
The idea that these bombs "implode then explode" has something to do with the range of the effects as given in the expert answer is complete nonsense. Especially since gun type nuclear bombs do not implode during the assembly of a supercritical mass.
Some effects like fallout and EMP can reach distances of many thousands of miles under the right conditions!

∙ 7y agoA nuclear bomb because it implodes and then explodes goes outward from the initial blast. It can go outward 40-50 miles from the drop zone. At that point there would also be radiation and fires burning whatever is there. Water evaporates instantly.

1 big nuclear bomb how many miles would it reach?
11.3 square miles
How many miles can a nuclear bomb reach?
depends on the size of the nuke, and how many you drop
What is the range of destruction for a nuclear bomb?
it depends...an ICBM would reach about 50 miles....a regular nuke like Hiroshima around 100 miles it depends on many different variables like hills, urban area even humidity but that's the average distance of a nuclear bomb.
How far will a nuclear bomb reach when it explodes?
That depends on yield and burst height/depth.
How could nuclear energy make long space trips more practical?
Nuclear energy could provide power for long periods, and the energy necessary for advanced high-speed propulsion in space. However, chemical rockets would still be needed to reach Earth orbit, because nuclear engines are space drives: they do not have the lift-to-weight ratio needed to achieve escape velocity. (This was once proposed as a use for nuclear bombs, but the launch system would create massive radioactive pollution.)

How far can a nuclear bomb's effects reach after being detonated and whats the after effects and how would we survive?
That depends on yield, burst height/depth, exact effect you are concerned about, weather, and many other variables.
Nuclear weapons how far can they fly?
with a nuclear weapon they vary from short and long distances it depends what they equip the missile with like external boosters if everything is added which could make it fly further it would reach almost 7 000 miles ish give or take a few hundred
IF you could travel 500 miles a day what would be the farthest city you could reach from Dallas?
My Answer:Matamoros, Mexico
What cities were about 500 miles of Nebraska that farmers could reach by railroad in 1905.?
umm.. no

How far can a missile go?
Primarily designed for nuclear weapons delivery, an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) can reach a minimum of 3,400 miles (5500 km).
Can a north Korean nuclear ballistic missile reach the US?
No. So far the missiles they have are duds. They go up and then fizz out. I think they have a ways to go before they could reach the US.
What cities were withing about 500 miles of Nebraska that farmers could reach by railroad in 1905?
umm.. no
'An electromagnetic pulse is one of the effects caused by what kind of attack?
Explosions of high yield bombs in the ionosphere above the target. The effects can reach for a radius of a couple thousand miles around ground zero.
If you could only travel 500 miles a day what could be the farthest city you could reach in one day if you started in Chicago illinoise?
dallas
