That is a complicated function of:

  • height/depth of burst
  • distance from burst
  • neutron flux density and spectrum
  • thermal pulse
  • overcast, if airburst
  • density, etc. of material around burst, if subsurface burst
  • mechanical condition of marble prior to burst
  • chemical impurities in marble
  • etc.

Without more data than is given in your question, no real answer can be given. I would suggest doing some research yourself on nuclear weapons effects.

A good place to start is "The Effects of NUCLEAR WEAPONS" Edited by Samuel Glasstone. I have a copy of the 1964 edition with the weapons effects circular sliderule that I paid half a dollar for at a library discards sale (the sliderule alone is worth well over 20 times that, even though my book has damage seriously reducing its value on the market). If your library doesn't have it, request it on interlibrary loan. (I don't think you can get the sliderule anymore though)

How does a nuke create such a big explosion?

A nuclear bomb creates a big explosion through a process called nuclear fission, where the nuclei of atoms are split apart, releasing a huge amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and shock waves. This release of energy happens very quickly, causing a powerful and destructive explosion.

If a nuclear weapon exploded on a nuclear Power Plant would the explosion radius increase?

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.


Nuclear explosion in Germany in 1990-1992?

There were no reports of a nuclear explosion in Germany between 1990-1992. Germany does not have a history of nuclear weapons testing and there have been no instances of nuclear explosions in the country during that time period.

What causes a nuclear explosion?

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.
