Given the small size of Kent (see places), it would seem unlikely that separate nuclear bombs were dropped on each of the "dead towns"; but Riddley has mentioned seeing white shadows in the other towns, which are only found near the heart of a blast. Then again, we don't know how weapons might have advanced (so to speak) between the modern day and Bad Time.
