Urban Legend has the cockroach capable of this. However, research has shown they can't survive the high temperatures or the radiation for very long, sadly they too die
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any insect can survive higher radiation levels than any mammal. But not the blast and thermal flash.
Thee rumor is the cockroach, but this is utter nonsense.
- Anything too close will be either exposed to combined gamma/x-ray/neutron dose beyond that at which living things can survive.
- Anything within a nuclear initiated firestorm will have no oxygen to breath and will die.
- Most insects (not just the cockroach) have higher LD50 levels than humans and other mammals do. Thus they will survive higher doses of fallout combined beta/gamma radiation. But a high enough dose kills any living thing, including bacteria and viri.
- Many bacteria have far higher LD50 levels and can grow at high temperatures. These have occasionally been found in colonies inside reactor cooling systems!

no
What is a nuclear capable aircraft?
That is an aircraft designed to transport nuclear bomb safely to the area to be dropped. The first nuclear capable aircraft used in history was a B29 bomber named Enola Gay which was modified to carry the nuclear artifact.
What normal household objects use nuclear force to run?
No normal household objects use nuclear force to run. Nuclear force is typically only used in nuclear power plants or atomic bombs where atomic nuclei are split or combined to release energy.
Is Mexico nuclear capable?
Mexico is capable of producing Nuclear power, it currently only has one power station called Laguna Verde Nuclear Power Station, located in Veracruz. Mexico might be capable of producing nuclear weapons, but they have laws against nuclear weapons, they are not allowed on Mexican soil. If Mexico were to produce nuclear weapons, their friendship with the United States will be ruined, the United States likes controlling Latin-American countries, and if a country such as Mexico has nuclear weapons, they can no longer enslave them.

Do Aircraft Carriers carry nuclear weapons?
During the Cold War aircraft carriers had a secondary mission of nuclear warfare and its attack aircraft were nuclear-capable. However, it was policy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons aboard any naval vessel. Pres. George H.W. Bush cancelled the nuclear mission for all naval forces except SSBN submarines. Today there are no nuclear weapons and no nuclear-capable aircraft on our carriers.
