If a nuclear bomb hit the Halifax main bank would the building survive?

This is too complicated to answer as written. First what do you mean by "hit"?
The effect wold depend on several variables, some of which are:
- yield
- burst height/depth
- burst slant range
- etc.
For a subsurface burst nearby at medium to large yield, even highly reinforced concrete buildings would collapse. Such bursts were designed to destroy underground missile silos, which are about as blast resistant as possible.
Airbursts, even of very high yield directly above a reinforced concrete building are likely to do little damage.

Will a cockroach survive a nuclear explosion?
depends on where he is. just like it would depend on where you were whether you would survive or not.
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.
What would happen to your body in a nuclear explosion?
Depends mostly on where you are relative to it and the yield. Other variables include:weatherterrainyour clothsif you are in a building, its constructionwere you near a windowetc.
What is the largest problem with nuclear power?
Under present world financial conditions I would say that the very high costs of building nuclear plants is a big problem. In the long term, dealing with the radioactive waste and decommissioning the plants safely.
Would the pyramids withstand a nuclear blast?
they probably could survive airbursts fine, they are mostly just a pile of stone like a hill. a nearby surface burst would be a different matter though, same as with a hill again.
Would lawyers survive a nuclear war?
Cockroaches would survive a nuclear war. Since lawyers are an even lower life-form they should too.
Will a cockroach survive a nuclear explosion?
depends on where he is. just like it would depend on where you were whether you would survive or not.
What insects can survive a nuclear blast?
A direct nuclear blast - nothing. However it is said that cockroaches would possibly survive radiation where other animals would be killed.
If you survive a nuclear bomb would there be mental side effects?
Probably.
What major bombing did roaches survive?
It is a myth that roaches could survive a nuclear bomb. The heat would evaporate them.
What scientists would be needed to build a nuclear power plant?
None. Building a nuclear power station is a job for engineers.
How can you keep nuclear plants safer?
Not building them in earthquake zones would be one way.
Would a tank survive a nuclear attack?
To do that it would have to have CBRN protection levels i.e. be sealed from CBRN threats. Older tanks wouldn't survive by a longshot, newer tanks might be able to, depends on model.
What would happen if hundreds of nuclear bombs hit in one place?
the whole world would die, directly from the blast, the shockwave or nuclear radition. every piece of food would be contaminated so even if you did survive there would be nothing to eat or drink.
What year did Halifax become a country?
That would certainly be a huge surprise to Halifax residents!- - Most of them still seem to think Halifax is part of Canada
If a nuke hit your town and you jumped in the pool would you survive?
No ~ you would be VAPORIZED along with your water, which would superheat and boil you just before you ignited into nuclear dust.
If you could blow up a building how would you do it?
use nuclear bomb,999999999 kegs of dynamite and heli-R
