What was the radius of the B53 bomb explosion?

The last live B53 munition began diasassembly in Texas today, 23 October 2011. This was the largest nuclear weapon in the US Arsenal at 9 megatons. The following is a quote from the Wikipedia article on the B53. The yield is projected- not all nuclear weapons were live tested in the open-

Effects

Assuming a detonation at optimum height, a 9 megaton blast would result in a fireball some 4 to 5 kilometers (2.5 to 3 miles) in diameter.[10] The radiated heat would be sufficient to cause lethal burns to any unprotected person within a 28.7 kilometers (17.8 mi) radius (995 square miles (2,580 km2)). Blast effects would be sufficient to collapse most residential and industrial structures within a 14.9-kilometer (9.3 mi) radius (300 square miles (780 km2)); within 5.7 kilometers (3.5 mi) virtually all above-ground structures would be destroyed and blast effects would inflict near 100% fatalities. Within 4.7 kilometers (2.9 mi) a 500 rem dose of ionizing radiation would be received by the average person, sufficient to cause a 50% to 90% casualty rate independent of thermal or blast effects at this distance.

What were the fuel oxidizer combinations used on each of the stages of the V-2 missile?

Is it true that the scientists in charge of the first hydrogen bomb test calculated the probability that the explosion would initiate a chain reaction of the hydrogen in ocean water?

Maybe. They would have had to think of all the possible side effects but the chance of this happening is tiny.

There are two explosions in a hydrogen bomb: a fission reaction of uranium or plutonium. This then creates the heat and pressure in the centre of the explosion to initiate the fusion reaction and explosion. The chances of the fission reaction causing a chain reaction in the water is very small as it needs large unstable nuclei to react like U235 but there is none in the sea. The chances of the fusion reaction creating a chain reaction is even less because the fusing elements need to be at millions of degrees and the sea is not a million degrees.

Why are boxers not supposed to blow their nose after taking a hard shot and are there any medical sites to back this up?

Boxers are told to not blow their nose after getting a bloody nose because the blood will clot on its own, stopping the bleeding. Breathing hard or blowing your nose shortly after can lead to the clot being dislodged and bleeding to restart. and if a fighter get punched or thumbed in the eye and he blows his nose the eye will swell shut and it be hard for him to see punches comming at him
