Cannot answer, but I can list some of the variables it depends on:

  • Yield
  • Burst height/depth
  • Target location
  • Terrain
  • Weather
  • Building construction
  • etc., etc.

etc.

The Tzar Bomba (a 50MTon bomb, largest ever exploded) if detonated at optimal airburst altitude would have a blast radius of 60 miles! How many cities in a modern metropolitan area do you think that would eliminate?
