Everything from a suitcase sized weapon that will destroy a city block to a 50 megaton weapon made by the Soviet Union that would render the north east coast of the US uninhabitable. What size you need man.? I know a guy... ;-)
If you in your basement & away about 20 miles from air/surface detonated epicenter, you have clean water & potassium iodide ki to protect your thyroid gland you will be ok depending on the altitude & magnitude you can probably start safely getting outside in a week or 10 days. You have to be careful not to ingest dust/ash as a residual radioactive material in a fallout. Surface or air burst detonation there are two types of fallout variety 1. small amount of carcinogenic material with a long half-life 2. large quantity of radioactive dust and sand with a short half-life. If surface burst you get #2 if air burst & fireball does not touch surface you get #1 in case of fireball touching surface you get a mix. If you inhale it it's bad, if you got it on your skin you can quickly scrub it off otherwise it is also bad. In best case scenario you want to safely move away from ground zero for 300-500 miles away, wear respirator & no exposed skin.
" . . . If exploded at the optimum height, therefore, a 10-megaton weapon, which is 1,000 times as powerful as a 10-kiloton weapon, will increase the distance tenfold, that is, out to 17.7 km (11 mi) for severe damage and 24 km (15 mi) for moderate damage of a frame house.
(does not include radiation damage, fallout, long term deaths...)
And realize that most of these bombs are sent up via and ICBM... and carry multiple warheads... the Minuteman III can carry 3 warheads...
Ever see Detroit? That.
Well, it depends on the size of the nuke.... What nuke are you specifically talking about?
what kind of the nuke does the US military have?

What's the recoil on a nuke? Is it gonna bruise my shoulder? 50 megaton to be exact
They actually built a recoiless rocket fired one in the 60's. So no shoulder injuries. Your rotatorcuff issue should be OK
Perfect!
Try using NUKEMAP. It's actually kind of interesting.

You're talking whole area in distances or radius from ground zero?
radius...
the heat generated is hotter than the sun.
Lots.
it's something like:
10 mile radius dead
10-30 miles wishing you were dead
30-50 burns but die later from radiation poisoning
50-100 miles fine but die from cancer 8 years later

This is a 1KT suitcase nuke. Check that site out, pick your size.
Well one missile can carry multiple warheads, spitballing it: one warhead would fuck shit up in a 5 miles radius 100%
It's really oversimplified but those are the estimates that are given most of the time
5 miles radius at least
