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

How does the nuclear radius vary with atomic mass number?

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


What is the potential radius of current nuclear weapons?

Whichever radius you are referring to depends on yield.


What is the radius of radiation from a nuclear reactor?

Nuclear reactors have a large thickness of shielding (concrete mainly) around them which reduces any radiation outside the reactor to hardly more than normal background.

What are the five top radius of nuclear bombs?

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


What is the blast radius of a nuclear weapon?

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.
