Is nuclear weapons the only thing that is destructive about nuclear energy?

no. Nuclear plants can explode potentially killing thousands of people. Besides the explosion, a nuclear explosion would cause radiation to linger, killing off, or mutating thousands more at a greater distance. Nuclear energy can also cause nuclear waste to form, and this must properly be put away. However, nuclear energy has saved/created more lives than kill it because it is able to create large amounts of energy, without pollution and power many homes.


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.
