It really doesn’t make any difference. Even a low yield 40 kt blast will completely vapourise everything within a couple hundred meters, and be expected to kill just about everyone within a mile of the building. A big one, like a megaton? You’re then looking at a circle of destruction about nine miles wide. In either case, if you’re on the roof and one goes off inside, you’ll be dead before you even notice it happening.
It’s not a bomb-type device, it’s a fusion reactor. I don’t think you can really detonate those. If you lose containment, the fusion reaction just shuts down.
That’s real-world science. Given the kind of science that exists in this setting, I would expect something cooler to happen, like the birth of a new star.

We all wound up Moustachio this morning,
Although he needs it only once a day!
We all wound up Moustachio this morning, but …
With a little bitty nuke,
With a little bitty nuke,
Now he says he’ll blow us all away!
(With a little nuke … with a little nuke …
With a little bitty nuke, we’re blown away!)
He’s got the Beni nuclear reactor …
He told the zombie that it was a pie!
He’s got the Beni nuclear reactor, and …
With a little bitty nuke,
With a little bitty nuke,
I’m afraid he’ll blow us all sky-high!
(With a little nuke … with a little nuke …
With a little bitty nuke, we’re blown sky-high!)
He’s allways been polite and friendly,
But with a little bitty nuke, he’s now a kook!
We must be cool and keep our wits about us,
We must stay calm and keep a level head!
We must be cool and keep our wits about us, but …
With a little bitty nuke,
With a little bitty nuke,
Someone’s gonna shout, “Oh s**t, we’re dead!”
(With a little nuke … with a little nuke …
With a little bitty nuke, we’re f***ing dead!
With a little nuke … with a little nuke …
With a little itsy-bitsy nuke!)

But she was on the roof with a top-secret aircraft; they probably could have been miles away by now if somebody had just told them what was going on.
