How far do you have to be to survive fallout from a nuclear blast?

Answer 1

I've heard were ever the nuclear bomb hits, 300 miles from it everything is destroyed. Nothing would be left except some bodies and buildings sadly. I think you should be at least 500-600+ miles away from the hit so if you do survive,your food or water won't be infected from the blast.

Fact: I originally upgraded this story, however this user overwrote the true stats of an standard nuclear explosion. To survive an nuclear bomb, ideally be outside of of an 50 mile radius of the inital explosion. If you are within 50 miles, get moving away from the blast zone fast. Move up air. Study wind currents in your area and head where the wind will be flowing to the blast site, not from the blast site or down current. Good luck.
