an optimal depth shallow subsurface burst will produce the biggest crater.
even conventional explosives produce mushroom clouds, just proportionally smaller with the smaller yield.
Many nuclear detonations will create a mushroom cloud (especially near the ground due to material from the ground being sucked up into the vacuum created by the explosion, thus forming a large part of the "stem" of the cloud) and if they are near the ground, will create at least a small crater, but it sounds like you are talking about a groundburst detonation (as opposed to an airburst). These types of explosions carry more radioactive debris from the ground into the air and generate a lot of fallout due to the irradiated debris from the explosion.
Staring at a mushroom cloud can expose your eyes to harmful levels of radiation, heat, and intense light, leading to serious eye injuries or even permanent blindness. It is important to take immediate cover and protect your eyes if you witness a nuclear explosion.
The lack of atmosphere on the moon means that there is no air resistance to create a blast crater when objects like meteorites or spacecraft impact its surface. Instead, the impact energy is dispersed over a larger area, causing the formation of a crater without the traditional blast features seen on Earth.
Both underground and surface nuclear detonations can create large craters. Underground detonations can result in a deep, narrower crater due to the explosion taking place beneath the surface, while surface detonations can produce wider, shallower craters as the blast occurs on the surface.
A mushroom cloud is a distinctive pyrocumulus mushroom-shaped cloud of condensed water vapor or debris resulting from a very large explosion. They are most commonly associated with nuclear explosions, but any sufficiently large blast will produce the same sort of effect. Mushroom clouds are formed by many sorts of large explosions under earth gravity, though they are best known for their appearance after nuclear detonations. Inside a mushroom cloud: cooler air is drawn into the rising toroidal fireball, which itself cools into the familiar cloud appearance.

The fireball was roughly 1500 feet in diameter (750 feet in radius).Blast damage was found at 10000 yards (30000 feet) to some of the bunkers.The blast was heard hundreds of miles away.
Blast effect
blast effect
The radiation in a nuclear blast comes from the release of energy during the explosion. This energy can create various types of radiation, such as gamma rays, beta particles, and neutrons. The radioactive materials involved in the blast can also contribute to the radiation released.
A large release of energy from atomic nuclei, either via fission or fusion.
No, the tsunami did not trigger a nuclear blast. The nuclear blast at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan was caused by a loss of cooling functionality due to the earthquake which occurred before the tsunami.

Blast can be a noun or a verb: The blast left a crater fifty feet across. The thieves planned to blast through the side of the building to gain access to the vault.
A nuclear bomb typically contains fissile material such as enriched uranium or plutonium. When detonated, a chain reaction causes rapid nuclear fission, releasing a massive amount of energy in the form of heat, blast, and radiation.
