First off, from a guidebook after RE3's release back in 1999
>Conquest of Nemesis, p.350.
>Q19. エンディングに出てくるミサイルはどのようなもの?
>A19. 核兵器につぐ威力を持つ、 気化爆弾などの新型爆弾のひとつで、 詳細は不明ですが、 放射能汚染はきわめて低いようです。 この物においては、 レールキャノンと並ぶ米軍最大の秘密兵器と言えるでしょう。
>Q19. Which type of missile appeared in the ending?
>A19. It's some sort of new type of bomb, a fuel-air explosive for example, with power second only to nuclear weapons, the details of which are unknown, although radioactive contamination appears to be exceedingly low. In this story, it could be said to be equal to the rail cannon as an ultimate top-secret weapon of the U.S. military.

Raccoon City isn't irradiated. It got vacuum bombed. Now the damages are probably inspired visually by the films, but Raccoon City was massively expanded into being an actual city with the remakes, versus a small suburban packed town the way the early games depicted it by its maps and stuff.
