US NRC: The emergency planning zone (EPZ) varies depending on conditions, geography, and Demographics. Generally, the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ is ten miles. Generally, the Ingestion Exposure Pathway EPZ is 50 miles. http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/emerg-preparedness/protect-public/planning-zones.html
That depends on what you're referring to: The fireball radius (the nuclear explosion itself), the total anhiliation range radius, and etc. For example, the bomb launched on Hiroshima had a fireball of several hundred feet in radius, a 1km total destruction range radius, and severe damage for miles. For firepower bombs (nuclear bombs made for power show & not effectiveness) The Tsar bomba of USSR had 50~55 megatons of TNT firepower, a fireball with 1km+ radius, total destruction for miles, and created a sound shockwave that could be heard in Norway/Other far Northern European areas. Modern nuclear weapons don't have a single blast radius; the U.S. developed M.I.R.V.s (cluster nuclear bombs) that spread apart to create a shotgun blast of multiple nuclear explosions.
The explosion radius of a nuclear bomb can vary depending on its size and design, but a typical range for a strategic nuclear weapon is a blast radius of several miles and a thermal radiation radius of several more miles. The effects of the blast, heat, and radiation can cause widespread destruction and casualties over a large area.
No, a nuclear explosion on a nuclear power plant would not cause the explosion radius to increase. The explosion radius would be determined by the yield of the nuclear weapon itself, not by the presence of the power plant.
The "uninhabitable" radius around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is typically considered to be within a 30-kilometer (18.6-mile) exclusion zone. This area was established to restrict access and limit human exposure to high levels of radiation following the 1986 nuclear disaster.
The largest nuclear weapon ever tested, the Tsar Bomba by the Soviet Union in 1961, had a blast radius of over 7 miles. The fireball created by the explosion measured around 2 miles in diameter and the shockwave was felt over 400 miles away.
The nuclear radius R is related to the mass number A as follows:R=RoA1/3,where Ro =constant=(1.2 to 1.7) x 10 -15Thus nuclear radius varies as A1/3
The radius of radiation from a nuclear reactor can vary depending on factors such as the reactor's power output, type of nuclear fuel used, and containment measures in place. Generally, an exclusion zone of several kilometers is established around a nuclear reactor to protect the public from potential radiation exposure.

I don't know what radius you want, but whichever one it depends on yield.

About the same number of square miles as the island of Eugelab in Eniwetok atoll in the pacific used to have. In 1952 it turned from a coral island to a crater in the Ivy Mike 10 megaton test shot.
The smaller atomic radius of a magnesium atom compared to a sodium atom is primarily a result of the increased nuclear charge in magnesium due to the higher number of protons. This increased nuclear charge pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus, resulting in a smaller atomic radius for magnesium.
The blast radius of a nuclear bomb can vary depending on factors such as the type and yield of the bomb, as well as the environment in which it detonates. However, the blast radius of a typical nuclear bomb can extend for miles, causing significant destruction and casualties.
