What material can withstand heat and radiation from a nuclear bomb explosion?
If it is close enough to the burst, nothing. The million degree plus thermal flash will simply vaporize it!
Is nuclear energy a blast of energy?
no
Would the pyramids withstand a nuclear blast?
they probably could survive airbursts fine, they are mostly just a pile of stone like a hill. a nearby surface burst would be a different matter though, same as with a hill again.
What is the blast radius of the largest nuclear weapon?
35km
How did jack reacher survive 61 hours?
Cold air rushed up the stairs - he got into the 1950's bunker which was built to withstand a nuclear blast. He survived in the bunker, but how did he get away from the bunker without being detected by all the agencies?
Why it is impossible for a nuclear power plant to become a nuclear bomb?
In order for fissile material to become a nuclear bomb, a sufficient amount of it must be assembled to exceed critical mass, and must be "held" there for a short period to allow the chain reaction to build sufficiently. By using conventional explosives to drive subcritical masses of nuclear material (like uranium or plutonium) together in an instant to achieve critical mass and cause the material to become supercritical, we can get a nuclear blast. Anything less will create a "dud" with no blast but only a release of some energy and the forcing apart of the nuclear material. If nuclear material is concentrated and critical mass is achieved, nuclear fission will occur and a chain reaction will build. But the energy released will be so great that it will attempt to force the nuclear material apart and stop the reaction. In a nuclear reactor, we achieve criticality and build a chain, but it is not able to go "run away" and behave like a nuclear weapon. Any "accident" or even a "catastrophe" at a reactor plant will only allow the melting of core material and the release of radiation. No blast will occur because there is no "force" to keep a critical mass of material together for a sufficient period to allow the chain to build to a high enough level to get that blast.
Can Kevlar withstand a detonation?
It can withstand some blast and shrapnel. It would depend on the strength of the detonation.
Why did radiation occur after the atomic bomb hit Japan?
The atomic bombs are nuclear weapons that use a nuclear chain reaction to create a Hugh explosion. The by-product of the nuclear blast is radiation.Atomic explosion is created by setting off a lot of dynamite around a core of nuclear material. The blast compresses the material together and makes it unstable.A hydrogen bomb is a much more powerful bomb. It is the result of a small nuclear explosion that compresses more powerful radioactive material together and thus creating an explosion that is 100 times greater than an atomic bomb.
Did the tsunami trigger the nuclear blast?
Yes the tsunami did trigger the nuclear blast because the water got into the nuclear reactor and buggered it up
What material can withstand Jupiter?
Most materials can withstand Jupiter.
What material can withstand heat and radiation from a nuclear bomb explosion?
If it is close enough to the burst, nothing. The million degree plus thermal flash will simply vaporize it!
Is nuclear energy a blast of energy?
no
Is nuclear fission soundless?
There is no sound emitted by the nuclear fissions themselves. Of course if the material is made into a nuclear weapon then there is a loud sound but this is due to the rapid release of energy causing a blast wave in the surrounding air, not the actual fission process itself.
Was there a nuclear blast in the world?
yes, thousands
What are the HARMFULNESS caused by nuclear blast?
The blast effects (which is all the question as worded asks about) would be the same as the blast effects of a weight of TNT identical to the nuclear bomb's yield (by definition). However a nuclear bomb has additional effects that the TNT doesn't, but as this question only asked about blast effects, I won't visit them.

What makes up the largest percent of evergy relearsed in a nuclear dotonation?
Blast, always blast.
