That depends on many variables, including:

  • yield
  • burst height/depth
  • burst slant range
  • weather
  • terrain
  • if burst is subsurface, the material around burst (dirt, water, rock, concrete, etc.)
  • construction of buildings in the area
  • population in the area
  • etc. etc.

etc.

The Tsar Bomba which had a yield of 50Mtons had a blast radius of 60 miles. Small tactical weapons with yields in the range of 0.1KTon have blast radii under a mile. Blast radius is defined as the distance experiencing 1 psi maximum overpressure. All homes of conventional construction in this area will be demolished and unusable, but industrial buildings outside the 5 psi radius may still be serviceable though damaged.
