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.

JordanThe most well-known nuclear explosions in Japan occurred in 1945 during World War II, when atomic bombs were dropped by the United States on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These bombings had devastating effects on the population and the cities.

If you have a critical mass of a radioactive material what can occur?
If you have a critical mass of a radioactive material, a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction can occur. This can release a large amount of energy in the form of radiation and heat, which can be dangerous and potentially lead to a nuclear meltdown or explosion. Proper safety measures must be in place to prevent such an event.
What are the destructive uses of nuclear fission?
Nuclear fission can be used in destructive ways, such as in atomic bombs where a chain reaction is initiated to cause a powerful explosion. Additionally, nuclear fission can be used in nuclear reactors to produce energy for electricity, but if not controlled properly, accidents like meltdowns can occur, leading to environmental and health hazards.
Will you go blind if you watch a nuclear explosion?
Directly watching a nuclear explosion can cause temporary or permanent blindness due to the intense light emitted during the explosion. The light can overwhelm the retina, causing burns and potentially leading to blindness. It is advised to avoid looking directly at a nuclear explosion and seek shelter instead.
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.
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.
