Nuclear explosive devices have been constructed in sizes from as small as 6 inches in diameter to as large as 80 feet tall by 20 feet in diameter. In other words, they can be nearly any size.
The diameter of a nuclear bomb shockwave can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb. In general, the shockwave from a nuclear explosion can have a radius of several miles, causing widespread destruction and devastation.
Depends on the exact bomb:for most of the 1950s most US atomic bombs were 5 feet in diameter as that was the size of a standard bomb bay.nuclear artillery shells and missile warheads have been built with diameters as small as 6 inches.the Ivy Mike device tested in 1952 was 20 feet in diameter and 80 feet tall.Basically pick any size you want as required by your application, a nuclear bomb can probably be made in that diameter.
The MK-I Little Boy was roughly 4 feet in diameter. The MK-III Fat Man was 5 feet in diameter (just small enough to fit a B-29 bombbay).
5 feet
A... bomb?
in short this poem talks about the effectivness of bomb. it talks about how it physically may hurt only those who were in its vicinity but emotinally its effected 100s and 100s of people. the diameter of the bomb may be just 30 centimeters but its effect goes way beyond the circle and beyond god as well. this poem trancends from a very literal examination of a bomb's diameter, to the diameter of the bomb's capabilities. It may just physically hurt a few but, emotionally and mentally it effects the entire world.
Depending on the design and purpose of the nuclear bomb this varies dramatically. Publicly released data shows that the US has built ones as small as about 11 inches in diameter and 31 inches long (Davy Crockett in image above) to ones as large as 80 inches in diameter and 244 inches in height (1952 Ivy Mike test device). Nuclear artillery shells have been built as small as 5 inches in diameter and 24.5 inches long to as large as 11 inches in diameter and 54 inches long. Nuclear landmines have been built as small as 11 inches in diameter spheres, but the most typical size is similar to a standard "55 gallon oil drum".

An atomic bomb is a complete deliverable bomb, including all nonnuclear components. The nuclear core is a rather small part, typically between 2 to 3 inches in diameter that contains the fissile fuel that when made supercritical by conventional explosives in the bomb fissions and provides the energy to drive the actual nuclear explosion.
It is impossible to build one in a volume that small. The smallest built are roughly 4 to 6 inches in diameter and weigh maybe 40 pounds or so.
That depends on the cube root of the yield. The fireball of a 10 megaton bomb reaches about 3 miles diameter.
