The largest strategic nuclear weapon ever built, a 50 megaton weapon, would produce a fireball slightly over 5 km.
I think that it is extremely safe to say that whatever fireball the factory had wasn't 10 km in diameter.
N.B. : the Halifax explosion was about 0.003 megaton (2.9 kilotons of TNT)
That'll be damage from the blast, rather than the fireball. Can't see blast damage in the video, so I assume that you're talking about the fireball.
Didn't the radius of damage have a fitting name?
I don't know, sorry.
