It's uncertain what you mean by "power blast", but the answer is probably "No, that's just fiction/superstition/total garbage."

What is the strength of 1MT nuclear bomb?

Blast yields are compared to their approximate explosive power equivalent to TNT. A 1 Megaton explosion is equivalent to the explosive power of approximately 1 million tons of TNT.

Can lead save you from a nuclear blast?

Whether lead could protect you from a nuclear blast or not depends on how far from the centre of the blast you are, how thick the lead is and how powerful the blast is. Lead alone would only really protect you from the ionising radiation given off by the blast; provided that the lead is thick enough and that you were far enough away from the blast itself. If you were quite close to the blast then the explosion itself is the biggest danger to you as it is powerful enough to flatten buildings and reaches temperatures of tens of millions of degrees. A hiroshima-sized blast would vapourise almost everything within at least a 1 mile radius and would make short work of lead (which has a boiling point of only 1749 degrees.) Lead is only used to shield from ionising radiation because it is very dense and so a thinner layer of it can absorb the same amount of radiation as a much thicker layer of a less dense material. This means that, while lead alone would not make much difference close to the blast, if you were further away (preferably in a bunker) then the lead (if thick enough) would be useful to absorb most of the ionising radiation given off by the blast A better solution for protection from radiation and the blast is earth and rock. However more radiation is absorbed by smaller thicknesses of denser materials so you would need much more material between you and the blast then if you used lead. However the larger thickness of material may protect you from the blast and thermal radiation effects.


What is a synonym for the word blast?

It depends on how you use it. It can be an explosion, as in a dynamite blast. It can be a verb: he blasted a hole in the roof. It can be fun or a great time as in: we had a blast at the party. It can be a hard hit ball -- a home-run blast. It can a strong current of air -- a blast of wind. It can be strong criticism or used as a verb: he blasted her verbally.
