Here is a neat interactive sight http://www.fas.org/programs/ssp/nukes/nuclear_weapon_effects/nuclearwpneffctcalc.html?formAction=297&contentId=367
I figure the average bomb for them would be about 50 kilotons, maybe 100 kilotons.
Then an average city almost like Cincinnati. The 50 kiloton wipes out more than half, so 2 should be good.
They probally also had some megaton bombs, but far less than what was made in real life, maybe the largest was 5 megaton. The simulator goes to 4, but 4 wipes out any city. The only cities that could take a 4 megaton bomb and be ok is LA, Chicago, probally New York, and probally Houston.

Wonder how Fallout 3 would have been if that megaton bomb had exploded, and makes you wonder if it were the only megaton bomb dropped over D.C. since so much is intact. Bummer for the chinese that it was a dud.
