ok. This makes a good bit of a difference. The damage would expand 200,000 Miles. Meaning after that people are perfectly healthy. The gradient still exists however magnified, So it appears that more would indeed catch cancer, But it's still long term in that case, as those too would live to a late age before  any life threating condtions occur. This also Is for more of a ground level explosion, where as we would most likely be detonating a good mile or 2 off the ground. As the air detonations Kill people from the force an instant radition, directly under the blast, However it leaves buildings more intact. and more easily occupiable. Also, the irradiated area stays that way for around 20 years, so If we drop one on them we may infact win the war, and if placed in a centralized location the spread would not reach the country's borders.
