Unlikely. People tend to forget that close to the blast the sheer energy of the shockwave, and the heat of the explosion (reaching tens of millions of degrees) will utterly destroy everything in its path. If we look at the Indiana Jones film then it is more likely that he and the fridge he was hiding in would be smashed to bits or vapourised by the blast.
A smaller thickness of lead can be used than other, less dense, materials to absorb most of the of ionising radiation from the blast itself. However, the lead would offer little protection from the shockwave and thermal radiation given off by the blast.
Also, assuming that you did survive the initial blast you would not be able to leave the refrigerator as the environment outside would remain highly radioactive for a long period of time and would be contaminated with fallout material. If you tried to live in the refrigerator long enough for the radiation levels to drop low enough for you to get out of the refrigerator without suffering radiation poisoning, you would not have enough food, water, or air in order to survive that long.

What is the blast radius of a nuclear weapon?
That depends on what you're referring to: The fireball radius (the nuclear explosion itself), the total anhiliation range radius, and etc. For example, the bomb launched on Hiroshima had a fireball of several hundred feet in radius, a 1km total destruction range radius, and severe damage for miles. For firepower bombs (nuclear bombs made for power show & not effectiveness) The Tsar bomba of USSR had 50~55 megatons of TNT firepower, a fireball with 1km+ radius, total destruction for miles, and created a sound shockwave that could be heard in Norway/Other far Northern European areas. Modern nuclear weapons don't have a single blast radius; the U.S. developed M.I.R.V.s (cluster nuclear bombs) that spread apart to create a shotgun blast of multiple nuclear explosions.
Will a nuclear blast kill you?
A nuclear blast can have devastating effects, including heat, blast pressure, and radiation that can result in immediate death. The impact of a nuclear blast depends on various factors, such as the distance from the explosion and the size of the bomb.
Is nuclear energy a blast of energy?
No, nuclear energy is not a blast of energy. It is derived from the process of nuclear fission or fusion, where the nucleus of an atom is split or combined to release energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
What material can withstand a nuclear blast?
Materials that are able to withstand a nuclear blast include thick, reinforced concrete, steel, and lead. These materials are used in the construction of bunkers and nuclear shelters to provide protection against the intense heat, pressure, and radiation generated by a nuclear explosion.
What was the Trinity nuclear blast radius?
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.
What plants could survive a nuclear blast?
none
Could you survive a nuclear blast?
Only by being a safe distance away.
Did the tsunami trigger the nuclear blast?
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.
When uranium will blast?
Uranium itself does not blast or explode on its own. It can undergo a process called nuclear fission in a controlled environment such as a nuclear reactor, leading to a highly energetic chain reaction. Uncontrolled fission could result in a nuclear explosion.
What is the blast radius of a nuclear ballistic missile?
This really depends on a number of factors, such as the yield of the weapon, the detonation altitude, and the terrain.
Is unearthed uranium susceptible to reaction if it were exposed to an atomic bomb blast?
Unearthed uranium is not highly reactive to an atomic bomb blast on its own. However, if the uranium was refined and processed into a nuclear weapon, it could undergo fission reactions in response to a nuclear blast, contributing to the explosive power of the bomb.

Was there a nuclear blast in the world?
yes, thousands
What type of nuclear blast occurs underground?
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.
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.
What makes up the largest percent of energy released in a nuclear detonation?
Correct answer is blast effect
