How far must you evacuate following a nuclear power plant accident?

Completely wrong. If the U.S. and Russia fought a nuclear war, the war would be over in a couple of hours at most and it takes months to manufacture a nuclear weapon. Also the war damage to the nuclear weapons production system would take years to repair before any manufacturing could begin again. There would be no chance to make any more.
If the nuclear war was fought by other countries, perhaps they could make more but all the other countries nuclear weapons put together are less than 1/4 of those that either the U.S. or Russia have.
Is a nuclear power plant same as nuclear power station?
Yes, it generally is but a nuclear plant could refer to nuclear reactors which are basically the things that produce the power. So in essence, yes, a nuclear plant is the same thing as a nuclear power station
Is uranium used to procure atomic energy?
Yes, uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Also uranium can be used in nuclear weapons.
Who was the inventor of 1st atom bomb?
Leo Szilard invented the atomic fission bomb in 1933 while in London, and patented it in 1934. However no material that fissioned was known at the time, so the bomb was not possible to build at that time.
Otto Frisch discovered fission of Uranium-235 in 1938 while in Berlin, making the atomic fission bomb possible. However Uranium-235 is only 0.72% of natural Uranium and purifying it is difficult and expensive, so an atomic fission bomb could not be built immediately.
The US Manhattan Project built the expensive industrial infrastructure it purify Uranium-235 and manufacture Plutonium-239 between 1942 and 1945. Resulting in a usable atomic fission bomb by 1945.
How did nuclear weapons impact society when they first came out?

You are the true idiot for discouraging me to ask a question In a forum designed for just that. I honestly didn't think of the collateral damage such a weapon would cause.
I found this wonderful site and it does say "ask anything" so I did.
Unaware that the only answer I was to get would be from a true idiot.
I truly hope whatever it is that has gone wrong In your life betters it's self.
Everybody knows when you lash out at an innocent just asking for knowledge,
