What does fat man little boy Nagaski Hiroshima and nuclear fallout have in common?

Was there nuclear fall out from nagasaki?
Yes, on August 9, 1945, three days after Hiroshima was bombed. It was a different type of bomb from Hiroshima though. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima was made by splitting uranium atoms, and was nicknamed Little Boy. However, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was plutonium. It was nicknamed Fat Man and was the same type as the first A-bomb tested at Alamogordo, NM.
How much radiation in REM did the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki emit?
When the atomic bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, people receive two doses of radiation: one during the explosion, and another from fallout. Experts say that approximately 50% of humans exposed to 450 rems will die, and 800 rems will kill virtually anyone. Death is inevitable and will occur from between two days to a couple of weeks. The first dose in the explosion had much rem and killed everyone instantly, so much that some people just evaporated. The second dose killed people within weeks. We can calculate and estimate but no measurement would survive in the ground so we actually don't have the exact number.

How far did the nuclear particles of hiroshima travel?
I assume that you are referring to fallout. It was only a tiny amount of the total fallout at Hiroshima, but as the mushroom cloud did enter the stratosphere some did travel around the world. Most of the fallout though probably fell back to earth in less than a couple hundred miles.
What radius of land was affected by nuclear fallout after the attack at Hiroshima?
about 150,000,000 million acres
What were the after effects of the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki?
When Japan was occupied by the US, scientists and military analysts found that nuclear fallout posed a major threat to people and animals. However, the persistence of the problem was not realized for several years. Radioactivity from fallout contributed to radiation sickness among the bomb survivors, with many suffering from cancer in their later years. The devastation caused by the bombings led in part to a reluctance by political leaders to use nuclear weapons. Despite stockpiling and numerous close calls, no atomic bombs have been used in warfare since 1945.

The bomb was. of course, carried into the country of Japan by an airplane. If you are asking about the fallout from the explosion, yes, a small amount of fallout will be carried by winds to other countries.

The fallout creates some problems for any creature living in the area. For example a priest who went on to rebuilt church, developed symptoms of nuclear sickness like his hair fell and eruptions in his skin. That happened to the people who were there in the first week of the blast.
