If it is 10kt device you are probably ok from being crispy crittered, however, exposure to the light will increase chance of initial radiation exposure and 10 miles may be within the blast damage radius for such a device. There is a web site that provides the effect radii for various size devices. Will have to do a search.

Lay down on the ground and wait at least 10 minutes. The heat will go over you.

Piper,

The following article gives a pretty good description of what a Nuclear Strike would look like. Not sure what the rules are on posting other news sites like this. Sorry if I shouldn't.
