 There
are two blast waves caused by a nuclear explosion. The first blast
wave spreads from the centre creating winds of several hundred miles
per hour. This is followed by a second blast wave with winds blowing
back towards ground zero.
A 100 kiloton bomb detonated in the air would destroy houses within
1.6 kms, cause irrepairable damage to buildings within 3 kms and
result in severe to moderate damage wiithin 7 kms. There would be
damage from broken glass and tiles over a wider area.
