Shockwaves and thermal radiation are mainly emiited in a nuclear detonation. When the nuclear blasts hits the ground, kinetic energy from the impact will be released, similar to an earthquake, causing shockwaves. Thermal radiation, or electromagnetic radiation, a result of energy released from the nuclear reaction of two nitrogen atoms forming a carbon and an oxygen atom, causes fires, thermal burns and blindness.

Where do you get nuclear energy at?
A nuclear power reactor, mainly PWR and BWR types.
What is each type of radiation with the correct description?
Alpha, beta and gamma are three types associated with radioactive decay. Alpha particles are essentially helium nuclei. They are massive, somewhat slow moving particles comprised of two protons and two neutrons. Beta particles are high speed electrons ejected from the nucleus of an atom. Gamma rays are a highly energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. Whereas a sheet of paper is thick enough to protect against alpha particles, a sheet of tin sufficient defense against beta rays, a foot or so of lead (or several feet of concrete) are required to protect against gamma rays. Heat, visible light, and radio waves are other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
What is bad about nuclear energy?
