Uranium just makes the radiation more effective and powerful. It depends on what warhead you're using, for range and effect of the explosion/radiation.
The Titan II ICBM in the 50s had a fifty kiloton warhead On it, I think. We used it for testing and the Titan project was later used for taking satellites high into orbit.

Thats with '60s tech too. Im sure if we wanted we could do better now days. Not to mention the far future.
Ive never really thought about the ships scale, I always chalked it up perspective
