What produces more heat a napalm bomb or a nuke bomb?

Nuclear weapons are much much hotter, their temperature is in the millions of Kelvins while chemical incendiaries like napalm are only in the thousands of Kelvins. Nuclear explosives are so hot the heat radiation can ignite structures miles away from the actual blast before the blast wave gets there, no chemical explosive can do this.
