Do you or anyone happen to know how long an area is uninhabitable with an average nuclear explosion? How about how much the amount of radiation decreases with the payload?

Use Google and search on "uranium enrichment" and you will get the technical info on processes as well as why it is so difficult and expensive to produce a real nuke. There is also quite a bit of lower level technical discussion of effects and reactions of different types of elements that are needed to produce a critical mass.
