Mostly Uranium 235, Uranium 238, and Plutonium 239 Also fission fragments.
If your talking about any kind of radiation then it would be thermal radiation from the heat blast.
When you split the Uranium atom you get 2 Neutrons, 2 protons + 2 fission fragments. 1 of the 2 neutrons will be uranium 235 and the other plutonium 239.
the radiation from a nuclear blast will at first be heat. This will be continious until the energy that created it is depleated.
Note Uranium 238 is weaker than Uranium 235 and it absorbs neutrons.
Uranium 235 has a far greater Neutron density (99.3%)
Uranium 238 = (0.7%)
