Dumb question time.

Does an NDB generate "liquid fallout" that remains radioactive in the atmosphere as vapour/clouds, or just an enormous splash and it all comes back down again pretty much immediately? I assume the vast quantity of water surrounding the burst site disperses any radiation concerns pretty quickly.
