Our average nuke is 1-5 Megatons. That is the equivilatent of 1 to 5 million tons of TNT. The nukes we used on Japan were between 10-20 thousand tons of TNT.
A 1 Megaton nuke will kill everyone in NY City, with blast and radiation sickness. It will kill others in a much greater area by giving them cancer, which will eventually kill them. Breathe in a single microscopic spec of plutomium and you are a walking dead man.
