To contaminate a country that spans over roughly 360 (N-S) x 80 (W-E) km (most of that beign the empty desert in the South), and has the vast majority of its industrial and business and science and population centres concentrated in an area of just around one third of that, a single 10 kt is more than sufficient if the wind plays ball and you maybe even build a bomb such that it maximises the contamination effect by intention.


The radiation present in Fukushima is much, much less than what you expect in case of a 10 kt detonation.


Also, 5 such bombs are enough to immediately bring life in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ashdod, Petah Tikva and Reshon Leziyyon to a lasting end, becasue the fallout at place would be such that even those not beign directly affected by blast and fire would not be able to stay and hold out in the coming years. These are the five biggest cities after Jerusalem. 1.3 million people alltogether just in these five cities. Thats roughly one seventh of the total population.


BTW, who says that once Iran got 5 x 10kt, they would not get appetite for more and bigger candy? And delivering nuke tech to terror organizations for suitcase dirty bombs?
