The radius of total destruction in Hiroshima was over 1 mile, with destruction of all flammable buildings within a 4.7 square mile area, and some outlying areas by the firestorm that followed two or three hours after the blast.
The radius of destruction in Nagasaki was a little less than 1 mile, because the bomb fell northwest of the city center, primarily impacting the Urakami River valley. The destruction extended to almost everything flammable within 2 miles to the north or south along the river valley.

If a soldier in the California army national guard is on the promotion list and he choose 0-50 mile radius and another soldier chose 0-125 mile radius who would get promoted?
The 0 - 125 mile radius leaves more options open, but there's no guarantee that slots wouldn't open up within a 50 miles radius, either. If it was something where they were, say, infantry, and the only other units within 50 miles were non-infantry units, then the one who chose the 125 miles radius would be more eligible for promotion (IF promotion was going to require them to transfer to a different unit).
