Yes, Hiroshima, Nagasaki were both bombed with Nuclear weapons

Chernobyl was a nuclear powerplant that suffered a meltdown, and a nuclear explosion

And there were countless Nuclear tests

There was NO nuclear explosion at Chernobyl! The explosion was a steam explosion that blew the roof off the building and maybe 1/4 of the reactor contents up in the air, all immediate debris landed within a short distance of the plant. Then the graphite moderator of the reactor core caught fire carrying radioactive smoke that dropped fallout on millions of surrounding square miles. If it had had a containment building as all US nuclear power plants are required, to the steam explosion and fire would have been completely contained with no offsite contamination!

The number of nuclear tests is quite countable, see: Swords of Armageddon by Chuck Hansen.

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)


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.
