Yeah, if you consider 20Ktons low yield. It did wipe out the city.
As to how much radioactive waste it created vs Chernobly, I'm actually
not sure about that, one way or the other. Chernobly was such a half
assed hell hole to begin with that it was easy to just walk away from
it instead of rebuilding it.





plus the types of radiation from a nuke plant was different from
hiroshima.

long lived highly enriched nastys in reactors are highly dangerous.


The uranium used in commercial reactors is enriched to a whopping 2 or
3%. Before those rods go into the nuke, you could hold them in your
hand. Weapons grade uranium like that used at Hiroshima is what's
highly enriched, which is to 80 or 90%.
