 Fallout
For all their physical destructiveness, the nuclear weapons that exploded 1,000 feet over Hiroshima and Nagasaki produced little lingering fallout; people entering the cities immediately after the attacks were unharmed.

Political fallout from the use, or even threat, of nuclear weapons elevates this discussion beyond mere technical quibbling.
