Best Answer

If you are referring to damage effects distances, that depends on:

  • Yield
  • Height of burst
  • If subsurface burst, material around burst
  • Design of bomb
  • Weather
  • Specific effect: blast, thermal flash, prompt radiation, fallout, EMP, etc.
  • etc. etc.

Without knowing all these factors, no estimate can be made.
