Using the Atomic Bomb simulation program I wrote on my computer at home, simulating the MK-III Fatman bomb dropped on Nagasaki, the initial shockwave speed is about 310,000 meters/second. This will rapidly slow to a few times the speed of sound, then more gradually to the speed of sound.
Additional simulations indicate the initial speed remains well within an order of magnitude of this more or less regardless of yield.
Most conventional explosive shockwave speeds are between 5,000 & 10,000 meters/second for comparison.

How fast can the shockwave of atom bomb go?
The shockwave of an atomic bomb starts at about 184 Km/s or Mach 540! It slows fairly rapidly from that.
