It is kind of both. A nuclear reaction does produce a lot of neutron radiation. This will fuse with other atoms and thorugh neutron activation make these into radioactive isotopes. But this only happens during the nuclear reaction and only in the immediate area around the reaction. So even just a few meters away from the center the neutron activation is quite low.
But all this matter, both fission products and neutron activated isotopes, does get spread around the area and with the wind. And they will blend with the natural elements you find in nature and make things radioactive.

And where should I stand to get superpowers?

Depends what sort of powers you'd like to have.
If you want the power of turning to a gas, I'd recommend standing as close to the explosion as possible.
If you want the power of growing new, exciting things in your body, standing further away will do. You may also pass on these powers to your offspring this way.

The only known powers are the Two Powers you get from nukes. Reasonable.

There is also slowly turning to liquid, by standing somewhere between those two points.

Every cell in your body eventually ruptures. The infamous Third Power that no one talks about because it really is not good!

Stand next to whoever's writing the comic book. If you would like those superpowers to last more than one issue, you may need to find the editors as well.
