The biggest nuclear explosion in history was a 50 megaton (equivalent to 50 million tons of tnt) bomb tested by the soviet union called the "Tsar Bomb". nobody was killed in the blast. the previous answer was completely false, Chernobyl was one of the smallest nuclear explosions in history, smaller than the Hiroshima bomb, which was only 17 kilotons (17 thousand tons of tnt, almost 3000 times smaller than the Tsar Bomb). People were mainly killed by the radiation. The blast didn't even kill everybody inside the actual plant (I'm not sure how many were killed in the blast, if somebody would like to add to this)

How big is the crater that is caused from a nuclear explosion?
The size of the crater created from a nuclear explosion can vary depending on the size of the bomb and the type of terrain it impacts. In general, a nuclear explosion can create a crater several hundred meters wide and tens of meters deep, with larger bombs resulting in larger craters.
What is The force that pulls the nuclear explosion back into the star?
The force that pulls the material of a nuclear explosion back into a star is gravity. Gravity is the attractive force between objects with mass, and in the case of a star, it is the force that keeps the star's material gravitationally bound together despite the energy released in a nuclear explosion.
Why does mushroom cloud form in after a nuclear explosion?
For the same reason they form following any explosion: heated air from explosion is lighter than surrounding air, making it buoyant and it therefor rises. The cloud is visible because of entrained debris, vaporized metal, smoke from fires, etc. produced by the explosion (nuclear or not). Nuclear mushroom clouds are simply more spectacular because more energy was released, making them hotter.
Can you see a nuclear explosion from space?
Yes, technically, every star is a nuclear explosion, including our sun. Apart from that, you would be able to see a nuclear explosion if one were to occur out side the planet if it was close enough. Out in the country, in the night sky, you can see satelittes that are the size of homes only reflecting the light of the sun flying around. A nuclear explosion could make a flash that is anywhere from the size of a few cities blocks to a mile across or more emitting vast amounts of light from them.
Can a scorpian survive a nuclear explosion?
No cockroaches are one of the few organisms able to survive nuclear explosions. Scorpions cannot.
Is a nuclear bomb the biggest explosion?
Yes, Nuclear weapons create the biggest man-made explosions
What are the method of controlling nuclear explosion?
nuclear explosion?
What was the biggest nuclear explosion ever called?
Tsar Bombe - variously estimated from 52 Mton to 58 Mton.
What happened some years ago in Russia from nuclear explosion?
When and what explosion? One of the nuclear test shots. If so which?Remember Chernobyl was not a nuclear explosion, it was a steam explosion and graphite fire.
Is it possible for a nuclear plant to experience a nuclear explosion?
no
What do you call the explosion called from an atomic bomb?
a nuclear explosion
If a nuclear weapon exploded on a nuclear Power Plant would the explosion radius increase?
No, a nuclear explosion on a nuclear power plant would not cause the explosion radius to increase. The explosion radius would be determined by the yield of the nuclear weapon itself, not by the presence of the power plant.
Was the atomic bomb the worlds biggest nuclear explosion?
No. Hydrogen Bombs have been detonated that make the atomic bomb look small in comparison. The Atomic Bombs dropped on Japan in WW2 were 25 Kton (equivilent to 25000 tons of dynamite), while H bombs can be as big as several hundred Megaton (million tons of dynamite)
Nuclear explosion in Germany in 1990-1992?
There were no reports of a nuclear explosion in Germany between 1990-1992. Germany does not have a history of nuclear weapons testing and there have been no instances of nuclear explosions in the country during that time period.
Has a nuclear explosion happened on November 6 2010?
There is no record of a nuclear explosion occurring on November 6, 2010. If there had been a nuclear explosion, it would likely have been a significant event that would be widely documented.
What causes a nuclear explosion?
A nuclear explosion is caused by the rapid release of energy from a nuclear chain reaction. This can occur in a nuclear weapon when a critical mass of fissile material is rapidly brought together, leading to a highly destructive explosion. In a nuclear reactor, such an explosion is prevented through control mechanisms that regulate the nuclear reaction.
What is the biggest know explosion in history?
The biggest explosion in history was the detonation of the Hydrogen bomb in the Bikini Atoll in the 1950s.
