That would depend on several variables in very complicated ways:
- yield
- burst height/depth
- construction of target
- if subsurface, material at burst depth
- wind
- weather
- etc.

How can you survive a nuclear explosion?
You can survive a nuclear explosion if you are far enough away from it for the initial heat and blast to have little or no effect on you. You then need to be deep enough underground or in a well-built shelter to avoid the radioactive fallout that would occur for days and weeks after the explosion. If you are far enough away, deep enough into a shelter, and have enough food, water, sanitation, medicine and luck, you would survive. To what end, who knows? But you'd be alive.
How far would a large nuclear bomb reach?
your question is unclear. By far do you mean range or distance of an effect? If distance of effect, which effect? By large do you mean physical size or yield? Be more specific.
What is the surprising effect of the neutron bomb?
A neutron bomb, or enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a type of tactical nuclear weapon designed specifically to release a large portion of its energy as energetic neutron radiation rather than explosive energy. Neutron bomb would use nuclear fusion, but in a different way. The detonation of a neutron bomb would still produce an explosion, but one much smaller than a standard nuclear weapon's. The main effect of a neutron bomb would be the release of high-energy neutrons that would take lives far beyond the blast area. The result: fewer buildings, cars, tanks, roads, highways and other structures destroyed.
What happen to a sealed metal can when the air removed from it?
The very similiar effect that causes a nuclear exposion, but not to that effect. The air is removed creating a vacuum but there cannot be empty space so the air stretches to fill the void. Now if the metal can is sturdy enough to hold up enough pressure, the air molecules will stretch so far that they split apart, therefore causing a nuclear explosion. Please don't try this.
How far can nuclear fallout travel?
There are several factors affecting the radius of nuclear fallout.- The size of the explosion will effect the distance.- Weather can affect it such as wind speed.- The largest nuclear fallout was the Chernobyl Explosion in Ukraine in 1986.The following is from wikipedia,'The plume drifted over large parts of the western Soviet Union, and much of Europe. As of December 2000, 350,400 people had been evacuated and resettled from the most severely contaminated areas of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. According to official post-Soviet data, up to 70% of the fallout landed in Belarus. '

How far can you be from a nuclear explosion and still live?
more than 20 miles and you would still get burned
How do you protect when a nuclear explosion occurs?
Stay indoors, as far from the outside as possible.

Is it possible for a human to survive a nuclear explosion?
Yes, if he's far enough away, or behind a lead shield and, still far enough away.
Is a lahar the same power as a nuclear bomb?
No. A lahar carries far less power than a nuclear bomb. However, large explosive eruptions, which can lead to lahars, can be as strong as or stronger than a nuclear explosion.

How many seconds did it take Einsteinium bomb to wrap the the energy up to make the explosion?
Using Einsteinium to make nuclear weapon would be far more difficult than Plutonium. Such a design is almost certain to fizzle.

What happens when stars calide?
When stars collide they connect their galaxies and explode.If our earth was at the far end of the explosion we would survive but if we were in the middle the explosion would be too intense for anyone to survive.
Where in Europe was there a nuclear reactor meltdown in the 1980s?
Nowhere as far as I can find. Perhaps you are thinking of the 1986 Chernobyl steam explosion and graphite fire. This was in the USSR and although the graphite fire melted much of the core, it was not a meltdown in the usual sense associated with nuclear reactors.
