Stages Of A NUCLEAR BOMB BLAST

When a nuclear bomb is dropped, its effects are seen in six stages.

Stage 1: A Flash Of Light 

A flash of light so bright, people living 80 km away, will be temporarily blind. It's better to close one's eyes then.

Stage 2: A Heatwave

In a radius of 8 km, people will get third-degree burns. Almost 100% chance of dying. For these calculations, I'm using the example of 1 megaton bomb.

Stage 3: Release Of Nuclear Radiation

 

Stage 4: A Visible Fireball

Stage 5:  The Sound Of The Explosion

And The Most Deadly Stage 6: Radioactive Fallout

It can take from a few minutes to a few hours after the explosion. It means that, radioactive particles will drop from the sky like sand. This can lead to Radiation Poisoning. It'll be deadly.

The best-case scenario is if you're 60-70 km away from the epicenter of the blast. You can take shelter among thick concrete walls. 

I hope it was informative...
