Are we talking about the radioactive fallout (as I said already, just add a shell of cobalt and it will do the trick ;)) or about the destruction power? About 15% energy of a ground explosion will turn into a radioactive fallout (a regular nuke w/o a cobalt shell). On the other hand, in case of the high air explosion, there will be no radioactive fallout at all. But once again: it won't be a main problem of the total nuclear war. The global firestorms will finish our civilization. The survivors will envy those who died instantly in the blast area.
