About the same as a nuclear explosion anywhere else, with a few differences:
- No double flash of light, just a single flash, as no air for x-rays to heat opaque.
- No mushroom cloud as no convection currents, just expanding debris cloud.
- Weakened blast as no air to push outwards.
- No purple, blue, pink, or green ionization glow in or around cloud.
- No purple Cherenkov radiation glow around cloud.
- No fallout plume carried by wind.
- Prompt Alpha, Beta, and Neutron radiation range is longer, as not attenuated by air.
- etc. (just subtract effects caused or emphasized by air and add effects suppressed by air)

What are some of the effects on the human body of a nuclear explosion?
Some of the effects on the human body from a nuclear explosion are death (from thermal energy/blast effects or super lethal radiation exposure), infertility and blood disorders.
Where did the Japanese nuclear explosion occur?
The only nuclear explosions in Japan were the two in WW2, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.However I believe you meant the Japanese nuclear reactorexplosion, which was not a nuclear explosion it was either a steam explosion and/or a hydrogen/oxygen chemical explosion. That occurred at Fukushima.
What are the effects of a microwave in a landfill?
maybe explosion?
Is fusion the difference between a nuclear weapon detonation and a conventional explosion?
Yes, the conventional explosives would trigger an explosion of the conventional explosives inside the nuclear bomb which would blow apart the nuclear components of the nuclear bomb, causing significant alpha emitter radiological contamination but no nuclear yield.
Example of nuclear change?
explosion of atomic bomb , and production of solar system
What is the cause of immediate destruction of a nuclear explosion?
blast effects
Greatest damage in an explosion?
In any explosion (conventional or nuclear) most of the damage is from blast effects.
What are some of the effects on the human body of a nuclear explosion?
Some of the effects on the human body from a nuclear explosion are death (from thermal energy/blast effects or super lethal radiation exposure), infertility and blood disorders.
What are the effects of a antimatter plus matter explosion in vacuum?
Exactly the same as outside, but the debris would travel farther because there is no resistance in the vacuum. Outside the vacuum the explosion would happen instantaneously once the anti-particles collided with oxygen.
What are the method of controlling nuclear explosion?
nuclear explosion?
What kind of communcations deviceradio would be able to survive an emp blast given off by a nuclear explosion?
Vacuum tube radios.
What happened some years ago in Russia from nuclear explosion?
When and what explosion? One of the nuclear test shots. If so which?Remember Chernobyl was not a nuclear explosion, it was a steam explosion and graphite fire.
What would happen if you had a nuclear explosion?
Many things. I'd need more details on exactly what effects you are interested in to say.
Where did the Japanese nuclear explosion occur?
The only nuclear explosions in Japan were the two in WW2, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.However I believe you meant the Japanese nuclear reactorexplosion, which was not a nuclear explosion it was either a steam explosion and/or a hydrogen/oxygen chemical explosion. That occurred at Fukushima.
Is it possible for a nuclear plant to experience a nuclear explosion?
no
What do you call the explosion called from an atomic bomb?
a nuclear explosion
What effects does nuclear explosion have?
Thermal flashPrompt radiationBlast and windFallout radiationEMP (if burst in ionosphere)Artificial radiation belts and Auroras (if burst in space)
