Nuclear Missile
1. Blast and Shock psi (pounds per square inch) "overpressure" velocity of winds
2. Heat radius from ground zero (point of detonation) where certain materials are ignited
3. Immediate or Prompt Radiation primarly gamma rays and neutrons
4. EMP (electromagnetic pulse) An intense pulse of electromagnetic energy lasting some 200 nanoseconds in the 10 KHz to 100 MHz frequency range (covering the great majority of military communications) with a peak power on the order of 500 billion megawatts. The occurrence of EMP is strongly dependent on the altitude of burst. It can be significant for surface or low altitude bursts (below 4,000 m); it is very significant for high altitude bursts (above 30,000 m); but it is not significant for altitudes between these extremes. This is because EMP is generated by the asymmetric absorption of instantaneous gamma rays produced by the explosion. At intermediate altitudes the air absorbs these rays fairly uniformly and does not generate long range electromagnetic disturbances.
5. Radioactive Fallout

Gamma Rays: 0.01-0.001 angstrom (~1/1,000,000 of a millimeter) ?
X-Rays: 0.0001 to 1000 angstrom ?
