That is approximately proportional to the cubed root of its yield. This is also true of conventional bombs.

What is the blast radius of the largest nuclear weapon?
35km
How many square miles is the blast radius of an atom bomb?
square miles and radius have different units
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.
What wave is produced in nuclear explosions?
Blast wave, as with any other explosive bomb.
What was the Trinity nuclear blast radius?
The fireball was roughly 1500 feet in diameter (750 feet in radius).Blast damage was found at 10000 yards (30000 feet) to some of the bunkers.The blast was heard hundreds of miles away.
How big is a nuclear blast radius?
Little Boy was the nuclear bomb detonated over Hiroshima. It used uranium and had an explosive blast equivalent to 12,500 tons of TNT. A 1 megaton hydrogen bomb, hypothetically detonated on the earth's surface, has about 80 times the blast power of that 1945 explosion. Considering the tonnage of a bomb to be contant, The blast radius varies dependent on whether it is a ground burst or an airburst. Further, the height of the airburst above ground affects the radius too. At a height of 1900 feet above ground, Little Boy produced a blast radius of 1 mile; an area of some 4.7 square miles.
What is the blast radius of the largest nuclear weapon?

What is the blast radius for a 500lb ANFO bomb?
150 yards
What would be the blast radius of a 200 megaton nuclear bomb?
Well i did some rough estimates...prob be like 56 milesA blast radius is equal to the square root of the megatonage. A 1 megaton bomb has a blast radius of severe damage of about 4 miles. Therefore a 200 megaton bomb (14 being about the square root) would have about a 56 mile radius. Though direct exposure to the explosion at that distance could probably still cause severe burns and it would probably cause damage as much as 200 miles out.
How many square miles is the blast radius of an atom bomb?
square miles and radius have different units
What are the HARMFULNESS caused by nuclear blast?
The blast effects (which is all the question as worded asks about) would be the same as the blast effects of a weight of TNT identical to the nuclear bomb's yield (by definition). However a nuclear bomb has additional effects that the TNT doesn't, but as this question only asked about blast effects, I won't visit them.
Is Dilsukhnagar bomb blast a nuclear accident?
no, they were conventional terrorist bombs.
What is the difference between a fire bomb and a nuclear bomb?
A fire bomb is a conventional incendiary bomb: magnesium, napalm, etc. A nuclear bomb uses fission and/or fusion and is mostly a blast effect weapon.
What is the blast radius of a bomb weighing 1.8 tons?
Impossible to answer. What type bomb, what explosive, what height detonation, etc.

Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?
Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.
What is the blast radius of the MOAB bomb?
150 yards- 6 super bowl stadiums
