No. Those sizes may be the most common, but there are smaller bombs and larger ones. 1000-pound, 2000-pound, and 4000-pound bombs were used in WW2. Blockbuster bombs go up to 12,000 pounds. BLU-bombs weigh 15,000 pounds and were used in Nam. 20,000 pound bombs were used in WW2. There is a MOAB type bomb weighing 22,000 pounds but it has yet to be used. Earthquake bunker-busters have been developed (but apparently not yet used), weighing up to 43,600 pounds.

∙ 11y agoOh no, conventional bombs over 1 ton (blockbusters) were used in WW2.
Both WW2 atomic bombs were about 10,000 pounds.
Conventional bunker buster ground penetration bombs up to around 20 tons have been developed by the US and used in Iraq.

∙ 9y agoThe blast radius of a typical 500 pound bomb is between 100 and 200 yards. Massive damage is caused within this area and debris can travel much further in some instances.

How big was the area destroyed by the nuke in hiroshima?
There are three forms of damage caused by a nuclear detonation:BlastFireRadiationOf the three, blast and fire are typically the most devastating over the largest area. Radiation, however, is the longest lasting and depends on the nuclear components of the device.Typically, destructive distance is referred to as the blast radius. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Little Boy (the benchmark for most of what we know), had a blast radius of one mile. That is that the wave from the detonation of the device at about 500 meters altitude spread out at about the speed of sound for one mile from ground zero (a two mile diameter). The blast radius is directly related to the yield of the device. Little boy being relatively small, about 40 kt (kiloton). The average yield at the height of the Cold War was about five mt (megaton). This yield device, with a surface burst detonation (the least destructive--compared to subsurface or airburst) produces a blast radius of about 20 miles.In addition to the blast radius is the area of firestorm and high level radiation which is roughly twice that of the blast radius.There are a number of nuclear blast emulators available on line. One is linked below.Little Boy was about 15 kilotons, not 40 kilotons. Fat Man was a little more than 20 kiloton.

How far do you have to be to survive fallout from a nuclear blast?
I've heard were ever the nuclear bomb hits, 300 miles from it everything is destroyed. Nothing would be left except some bodies and buildings sadly. I think you should be at least 500-600+ miles away from the hit so if you do survive,your food or water won't be infected from the blast.Fact: I originally upgraded this story, however this user overwrote the true stats of an standard nuclear explosion. To survive an nuclear bomb, ideally be outside of of an 50 mile radius of the inital explosion. If you are within 50 miles, get moving away from the blast zone fast. Move up air. Study wind currents in your area and head where the wind will be flowing to the blast site, not from the blast site or down current. Good luck.
