A gravity dropped nuclear bomb could fall several tens of thousands of feet from bomber to detonation. A ballistic missile's warhead could travel tens of thousands of miles from launch site to detonation.
The explosion itself is not the source of the heat emitted from a nuclear detonation. Instead the heat is the source of the explosion. Compare this with thunder following a lightning strike. In the nuclear bomb temperatures of about 20 million degrees fahrenheit are produced causing the emission of x-rays which ionizes the air preventing any more light or IR emission until the bomb cools enough that it no longer is emitting x-rays. In lightning the temperature of the ionized conducting air channel is only about 90000 degrees fahrenheit.As to the temperature of things around the fireball from a nuclear detonation, directly beneath the fireball temperatures can reach about 7000 degrees fahrenheit. To give an example by which to compare this heat, free flowing magma, or melted rock, averages a high of 4000 degrees fahrenheit.
The answer can certainly be more complicated and detailed, but simply- the reaction in a nuclear power point is designed to be a "slow" controlled reaction that can be monitored and "shut down", with a nuclear power point having multiple safeguards. To the contrary, a nuclear weapon's reaction is designed to be the opposite- violent and uncontrollable so that once detonation has begun, the results are catastrophic.

Yes, the conventional explosives would trigger an explosion of the conventional explosives inside the nuclear bomb which would blow apart the nuclear components of the nuclear bomb, causing significant alpha emitter radiological contamination but no nuclear yield.
The biggest explosion in history was the detonation of the Hydrogen bomb in the Bikini Atoll in the 1950s.

Noboby can survive a nuclear bomb if he is within explosion distance.

I'm not sure but the strongest bomb is the hydrogen bomb
Gravity if forming the clouds from the atomic bomb.
because the bomb was designed to make it so.
