Check out this research: https://www.mdpi.com/2571-6255/6/9/331
An explosives safety separation distance, ESSD, from a substance, article, or structure with reacting material, specifically burning material, is one where an individual would not receive second degree burns and would not be exposed to hazardous debris (<79 Joules) at a density greater than one fragment per six hundred square feet
The table below from this site shows an appropriate evacuation distance...
