If it is close enough to the burst, nothing. The million degree plus thermal flash will simply vaporize it!

Which is a disadvantage of nuclear energy?
Nuclear explosion produce radiation May create a melt down
What is the worst affect of a nuclear explosion?
well there has never been a very big nuclear explosion but it probably the pollution after it. Yes it would be the radiation the pollution and would affect the world for years to pass killing everything left in the world
How does nuclear power kill you?
Nuclear power itself does not kill you unless there is a steam explosion like at Chernobyl. It is the radiation either from fission products or direct neutron bombardment which will do that, and the effects of excessive radiation are well known and documented.
How do you get safe from nuclear weapon?
without a bunker, it is very unlikely youll be 'safe'. as to the fact there is alot of radiation involved, so if you survive the explosion you may be killed by the following radiation.
What stops a nuclear explosion?
It's not clear exactly what you mean here. If you're asking how a nuclear explosion is prevented in a stored nuclear device, the radioactive material is kept separated into pieces below the critical mass at which normal radioactive decay becomes a runaway chain reaction. It's also possible to keep a pile subcritical by the use of neutron-absorbing "damper" materials. If you're asking "if a nuclear bomb went off, what could protect you from the explosion"... then a sufficient quantity of dense, strong material would do so. The quantity required depends on the material, but this is basically the purpose of a "bomb shelter"... it's a structure designed to withstand the shock wave of a nuclear blast, either because it has thick sturdy walls or because it's underground with the ground itself doing the bulk of the work of the barrier.
What are dirty bombs?
hastily made nuclear weaponsAnswer:Regular explosives together with radioactive material, not strong enough for a nuclear explosion, but spreads radiation which is poisonous.
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.
What causes the gretest damage in an exsplosion?
The radiation if it is a nuclear explosion.
What illnesses did people get because of the pollution from the nuclear explosion?
Most illnesses were cancer related because of the ionising radiation in the nuclear fall-out after the explosion.
How do you survive a nuclear explosion?
Receive treatment for radiation poisoning after you avoid the heat and force of the explosion itself
What is the best material to resist an impact of a nuclear explosion?
Starlite which is similar looking to flexible plastic can withstand the heat and destruction of 75 heroshima explosions. Both heat and damage is diverted.
Why scorpions withstand on nuclear radiation?
Because they have Sex Lube put all over their body.
In 1986 a nuclear explosion released radiation that killed hundreds of people in and around?
Chernobyl
What are nuclear atom bombs?
Atomic bombs, as they were called in the 40s, are nuclear weapons which use the properties of radioactive material to create an extremely powerful explosion. The explosion involves a huge release of energy and very damaging radiation. Look up "atom bombs" and you are likely to find a range of explanations.
What is the difference between a bomb and an nuclear bomb?
Basically, a conventional bomb uses a chemical explosive as the source of its destructive power. A nuclear weapon uses nuclear material to create an explosion. A nuclear explosion is much larger, and also emits ionizing radiation. A chemical weapon does not emit any radiation. A nuclear weapon's yield is measured in Kilotons (thousand tons). In very simplified terms, this means that a nuclear weapon with a 475 kiloton yield produces an explosion comparable to 475,000 tons of TNT (TNT is a chemical explosive). That's A LOT of TNT and it would take up a bit of space. A nuclear weapon with this yield may only be a few feet long and a foot wide, and the actual nuclear material may be the size of a grapefruit.
Which is a disadvantage of nuclear energy?
Nuclear explosion produce radiation May create a melt down
Will radiation cause the salvation or destruction of mankind?
No. The chances are unlikely. 0.0000039% Is the chance for an nuclear Explosion.
