There was an article posted the other day about how if Pakistan and India were to go to war...the radioactive fall-out would significantly reduce world agricultural output...even China would have had a decrease of (I think) 22%...I'm not a Nuclear Physicist so I wouldn't comment on this further but to me that sounds like : If crops suffer as China and other countries...then surely the People living within the cities would suffer even more !
Already more than 2000 nuclear tests of much higher yield weapons than 50 kT have taken place. If what you said was true there would be no people alive in the earth.
But yes, if, say, India destroys pakistan's nuclear plants, the resulting radioactive leakage will be far more dangerous than that from a nuclear weapon. But the crux still stands true: nuclear weapons alone of 50 kT are not nearly enough to annihilate India.
