I believe the original atomic bomb didn't have radiation in it, which is why we called it an atomic bomb and not a nuclear bomb. I could be wrong, but that is my understanding of it, so I do think it is possible to have the massive explosion without the fallout, but if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will please correct me?

You can still measure radiation from Trinity (first atomic bomb).

And tens of thousands of Americans died of cancer because of the nuclear tests. Maybe even hundreds of thousands.
