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.
The thermal heat in a nuclear explosion is caused by the rapid release of energy from the fission or fusion reactions taking place. The intense heat is a result of the high temperatures reached during the explosion, which can be in the millions of degrees Celsius.
A nuclear explosion is the type of explosion that causes a mushroom cloud. The distinctive mushroom-shaped cloud is formed when the intense heat and energy of the explosion causes the surrounding air and debris to rise rapidly, creating the iconic cloud formation.
A nuclear explosion is initiated by triggering a chain reaction inside a nuclear device, either through implosion or gun-type mechanisms. This chain reaction causes rapid and uncontrolled splitting of atomic nuclei, releasing an immense amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation, resulting in an explosion.
In a nuclear explosion, nuclear potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and thermal energy. The fission or fusion of atomic nuclei releases a massive amount of energy in the form of heat and light. This energy causes intense pressure waves and heat that result in the explosive force of the nuclear blast.
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.
The radiation if it is a nuclear explosion.
Sudden release (in a few microseconds) of nuclear energy via fission, fusion, or a combination of both.
nuclear explosion?
Nuclear weapons cause the greatest damage in explosion. This will affect even the atmosphere for a very long period of time.

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.
The nuclear fusion uses Hydrogen to produce Helium. The fusion also releases a lot of energy, which is what causes the explosion.

the biohazardness of a nuke is that it causes more people to die from the fall out(nuclear storms) than the explosion
