Yes, an underground nuclear bomb test has the potential to create seismic waves that can be detected and recorded as an earthquake. The magnitude of the seismic event would depend on the yield of the nuclear explosion and the geology of the surrounding area.
The only nuclear explosions in Japan were the two in WW2, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.However I believe you meant the Japanese nuclear reactorexplosion, which was not a nuclear explosion it was either a steam explosion and/or a hydrogen/oxygen chemical explosion. That occurred at Fukushima.
Directly watching a nuclear explosion can cause temporary or permanent blindness due to the intense light emitted during the explosion. The light can overwhelm the retina, causing burns and potentially leading to blindness. It is advised to avoid looking directly at a nuclear explosion and seek shelter instead.
Yes, the conventional explosives would trigger an explosion of the conventional explosives inside the nuclear bomb which would blow apart the nuclear components of the nuclear bomb, causing significant alpha emitter radiological contamination but no nuclear yield.
Some of the effects on the human body from a nuclear explosion are death (from thermal energy/blast effects or super lethal radiation exposure), infertility and blood disorders.
The focus and epicenter are both "earthquake points". The focus is the point of origin of an earthquake or underground nuclear explosion while the epicenter the very center or focal point.

no it was caused by the tectonic plates the nuclear plant disaster happened because of the earthquake
An underground nuclear blast is referred to as an underground nuclear test. It involves detonating a nuclear weapon below the surface of the Earth, effectively containing the explosion underground. This type of blast generates seismic waves that can be detected and analyzed for various purposes, including testing nuclear weapons technology.
The both ultimately resulted in the release of radioactive material from a nuclear reactor into the environment.
nuclear explosion?
Sentence: A Seismograph is a machine used to measure the severity of earthquakes.
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.
I believe the first underground nuclear test explosion was done by the US at the Nevada Test Site. However it was not intended to contain the blast or radiation. It was an effects shot to evaluate cratering, the bomb was only 3 feet underground. It was part of the 1955 Teapot series.
In the event of a nuclear explosion, the general rule of thumb for safety measures is to seek shelter underground or in a sturdy building, stay inside to avoid exposure to radioactive fallout, and follow emergency instructions from authorities.
A magnitude 8 earthquake releases approximately the same energy as a 15 megaton nuclear explosion (e.g. Castle Bravo test in 1954). This is the same as fifteen 1 megaton nuclear explosions. Note: the photo above is of a 0.5 megaton nuclear explosion.
