When it detonates it produces new radiation belts captured in earth's magnetic field and produces Auroral displays near the poles. The radiation belts take a few weeks to dissipate and have severely damaged early satellites passing through them. One Gemini mission was delayed after a US nuclear test in space to avoid exposing the astronauts.
