Radioactive particles stirred up after a nuclear explosion?

fallout, a mixture of debris picked up by the updraft in the mushroom cloud and condensed vaporized bomb materials.


Why does mushroom cloud form in after a nuclear explosion?

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.

What illnesses did people get because of the pollution from the nuclear explosion?

What happened some years ago in Russia from nuclear explosion?

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.


Why is nuclear bomb release a huge explosion?

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).


Can you survive in an nuclear explosion while in an refrigerator?

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.


Where was the nuclear explosion at in 1986?

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.


Where did the Japanese nuclear explosion occur?

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.
