Off the top of my head, I'd say less than a mile. But perhaps @alxglaser, @wellerstein, or @ferencdv can offer something more precise?
If we're using 185 mph as the figure, for a 20 kt surface burst, that is about .7 mi from GZ, per NUKEMAP's "probe location" function.

160 mph was the figure I was using, but this is pretty close. Thanks!

Everything sounds about right ... Here's Table 3.07 from Glasstone: 5 psi peak overpressure corresponds to 160 mph.pic.twitter.com/n16hCCUNOb

Right, I consulted Glasstone but couldn't determine how to easily estimate the distance for a given yield.

NUKEMAP uses a curve fitting function to do it, developed by the people who made the "calculators" that came with the book.

This will be my "go to" source the next time this issue arises!
