Another example of the seriousness, besides the obvious immediate deaths within the blast zone, quoted from atomicarchive.com… Most of the bomb-produced radionuclides decay rapidly. Even so, beyond the blast radius of the exploding weapons there would be areas (“hot spots”) the survivors could...

Nuclear weapons produce enormous explosive energy. Their significance may best be appreciated by the coining of the wordskiloton(1,000 tons) andmegaton(1,000,000 tons) to describe their blast energy in equivalent weights of theconventionalchemical explosiveTNT. For example, the atomic bomb dropped...
The bomb might have a yield, or explosive strength, of only one kiloton, a fraction of the 15-kiloton explosion that devastated Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945. Its blast and heat effects would be confined to an area of only a few hundred metres in radius, but within a somewhat larger ...
