3 - The WW2 bombs were very small: 0.015 and 0.021 megatons respectively. They did good damage in WW2 standards, but are tiny by today's measure. That's why the radiation was minimal, along with the air burst.
People still got radiation sickness in the first few years though & most died since the Japanese government covered it up & refused proper treatment.
Modern US A-bombs range from roughly 0.5 megatons to 1.2 on the Minuteman.
Russian ICBM bombs are estimated to be between 2 and 5 megatons, but IDK if that's ever been confirmed, even after the fall of the USSR.
I have no idea how big China's bombs are, but they've added well over 120 missiles to their arsenal recently :/
