Genocide enthusiasts may be pleased to know that innovation has not stood still on nuclear weapons in the intervening years, and there may well be designs for (and perhaps warheads built of) ultra-high-yield exoatmospheric enhanced radiation weapons that could deliver a lethal dose of radiation to thousands of square kilometres (or much more - I got this from a Scientific American article from 20+ years ago and I don't remember anything about the possible area, and am mostly going on a line from the 1980 Oppenheimer series) without the mess of fallout, although I imagine the consequences to the usability of near space would be considerable.
