No, a nuclear explosion on a nuclear power plant would not cause the explosion radius to increase. The explosion radius would be determined by the yield of the nuclear weapon itself, not by the presence of the power plant.
After a nuclear explosion, radioactive particles can be released into the atmosphere. These particles can travel long distances and pose a significant health risk if inhaled or ingested. Protective measures such as evacuation and sheltering in place are crucial to minimize exposure to these radioactive particles.
There were no reports of a nuclear explosion in Germany between 1990-1992. Germany does not have a history of nuclear weapons testing and there have been no instances of nuclear explosions in the country during that time period.
There is no record of a nuclear explosion occurring on November 6, 2010. If there had been a nuclear explosion, it would likely have been a significant event that would be widely documented.
A nuclear explosion is caused by the rapid release of energy from a nuclear chain reaction. This can occur in a nuclear weapon when a critical mass of fissile material is rapidly brought together, leading to a highly destructive explosion. In a nuclear reactor, such an explosion is prevented through control mechanisms that regulate the nuclear reaction.
For the same reason they form following any explosion: heated air from explosion is lighter than surrounding air, making it buoyant and it therefor rises. The cloud is visible because of entrained debris, vaporized metal, smoke from fires, etc. produced by the explosion (nuclear or not). Nuclear mushroom clouds are simply more spectacular because more energy was released, making them hotter.
Most illnesses were cancer related because of the ionising radiation in the nuclear fall-out after the explosion.
nuclear explosion?
new clear weapons
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.
A very large amount of energy is released in a few microseconds, raising the temperature of the bomb material and everything near it to several million degrees in that time period. Everything becomes vaporized at that temperature, the hot vaporized bomb, etc. expands rapidly producing an explosion. Nuclear bombs have been tested with yields extending over a range from 100 Tons TNT equivalent to 50 MegaTons TNT equivalent (maybe beyond this range).
no, you cannot survive IN a nuclear explosion at all. everything INSIDE the explosion itself, which is roughly 1,000,000 C, is vaporized to an ionized plasma! everything including ALL metals!one can survive near a nuclear explosion, but it requires some combination of luck and preparation. i suggest reading Dean Ing's novel: Pulling Through. not only is it a good story, but it is well researched and includes appendices with detailed instructions on how to make and use the various devices the characters in the story used to improve their survival chances.
I don't know of one specifically, there was still underground nuclear testing at the time so there might have been several that year. If you are thinking of the reactor explosion at Chernobyl that year, that was not a nuclear explosion, just a large steam explosion when the coolant water flash vaporized blowing the roof off the reactor. Once the graphite moderator in the core was exposed to air it caught fire, this was the worst part of the disaster as burning graphite is nearly impossible to put out and the smoke was carrying all kinds of radioactive material from deep in the core.

Chernobyl
You don't, they are dead or will be dead in a few weeks.
Nuclear Power is NOT NECESSARY. So many people die when there's a nuclear explosion. It is also really bad for the environment.
