That depends on yield, burst height/depth, exact effect you are concerned about, weather, and many other variables.

What are the effects on the nuclear power plant in japan after the tsunami hit?
A nuclear explosion is not possible in the design of a modern nuclear power plant but the problem is radioactive material being released into the atmosphere and nearby environment. If radiation is released into the atmosphere then it can travel many miles from the site of the nuclear plant or into the water system. The cleanup of a nuclear meltdown and radiation leak includes costly monitoring and decontamination of the radiation-affected areas.
Is it possible to power a rocket using nuclear power?
Yes it is and NASA have various designs and projects to study the practicalities of such engines. Nuclear power may be used to heat a propellant, provide an electrical power source for an ion engine, or may be used directly to provide thrust in a number of ways, one example being the fission-fragment rocket.

What are the effects of cultural diffusion in the Mediterranean?
Many aspects of different cultures came together through trade, which led to Greek architecture being spread, similarities in politics, and the spread of philsophical tradition. If you have this for WHAP, I feel for you. My teacher, Mrs. Mohan, is infamous for being Indian.

How are people vaporized?
They only way to vaporize a person is have then stand close to a thermo-nuclear weapon of mass destruction being detonated, and they need to be in the giant fireball that is near the detonation site, not 500 miles away.
What is the radius of damage that the nuclear bomb can do?
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question for a number of reasons. There is no standard nuclear bomb: the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima (Little Boy) had a yield of less than 20,000 tons of TNT. In 1961 the USSR exploded a nuclear bomb (Tsar Bomba) with a yield of 50,000,000 tons of TNT. The damage that a nuclear device can deliver depends on the altitude at which it is detonated. Also, in addition to the immediate effect of the blast, there are long term effects from radioactive debris being blown into the upper atmosphere and coming down later.As an example of the latter, the explosion at the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl led to radioactive rainfall in the UK. Such effects will depend on prevailing winds and other weather conditions.
How do you survive atomic bombs?
In reality, the only hope is to be far away from the point of detonation. Being in a very strong structure or deep underground can help somewhat, but in the end, it all depends on how far away from where the bomb detonated you are. If you were standing outside when the bomb detonated, then: For a bomb the size of Hiroshima (10-20kT), you need to be at least 1 mile away to have a 50% chance of survival. For a typical modern advanced nuclear weapon (300-500kT yield), you would need to be at least 5 miles away to have a 50% chance of survival.
How does being in proximity to nuclear power generation affect my family's safety?
The presence of nuclear power plants may affect public health in many ways. Primarily, the release of radiation by nuclear power plants into the surrounding areas is known to have hazardous effects on public health. Nuclear power plants can also affect the health of the local environment and natural wildlife.

How did the word bikini become a word?
In 1946, the United States performed nuclear tests on the Bikini Islands (specifically the island called Bikini Atoll.) A nuclear bomb was detonated and the effects of the fallout and radiation were measured. This was regarded by many as a sign that the world was about to end in nuclear war. The general feeling was that people ought to enjoy themselves in their final days and to stop being so uptight. A two-piece swimsuit was introduced in the spirit of these decadent days, and it was called the "bikini". So go show some skin... the end of the world might be closer than you think.
How do astronauts survive in space where there is no gravity and no oxygen?
The oxygen is a simple matter: they simply take it with them when they leave Earth. Humans can survive being weightless for a few months with no lasting effects on their health.
What were the health effects of Japan after the nuclear bombing?
Many people in a 300 mile radius were affected by radiation poisoning and diverse cancers, which still cause problems today. Many people in Japan are being born with deformities because of the nuclear bombings' effects that took place in 1945.
