I think the question is obvious, myself (referring to the Argument between Shakya and OV):
"Can a nuclear blast spread fallout around the Earth?"
The answer is yes. I know this for a fact. Radioactive particles can spread all over earth (along the path, generally, of the jetstream around the area that the blast occurred) after a nuclear blast.
I don't think that argument is relevant to what we were really discussing. Or what I was trying to discuss.
What I doubt is that fallout can be spread from a single weapon that has any consequence to people thousands of miles from the source.
His original point was that the consequences would be "dire"...so to say "aha! see! trace amounts can be spread that can be detected if you're looking for them!" validates his original point is moving the goal post.

Oh, I would agree, there. But I figured I would answer the question at face-value since no satisfaction would ever be gained from either party (and I hate dangling participles...and arguments.)
Obviously...the REAL question is "would such a fallout significantly affect people"? The answer to that is emphatically, "no." You end up experiencing more radiation during a fun outdoor summer day than you will in a life-time from any of the Soviet or US detonated bombs (depending on where you live). That should answer the question in the way you wanted it answered....no?
Flying in an airplane is also worse than most types of modern X-Ray scans, with or without lead aprons, IIRC anyway

I take it you didn't see or understand the "lol" at the bottom of my post
Its quite funny though how they're so worried about one little nuke. Despite the lack of evidence that their nuclear program is focused solely on obtaining one.

I don't think anyone running for President seriously thinks that Iran is ONLY after a weapon. What they say and what they think (especially for Romney and Gingrich) are two different things.
I think it's fairly clear that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon, what I disagree with is the idea that (1) it's purpose would be to launch an offensive strike against Israel (if North Korea hasn't nuked South Korea by now then I doubt Iran would be crazier) and (2) that they're not also pursuing legitimate nuclear power.
