A nuclear explosion viewed from space appears as a bright flash of light followed by a rapidly expanding fireball. The explosion creates a mushroom-shaped cloud that rises into the atmosphere.
No. There is no possibility whatsoever of a nuclear power plant having a nuclear explosion. It is not physically, or even theoretically, possible for the core to be brought into a super-prompt critical geometry and held there long enough to consume enough fuel to "go nuclear".
No, a nuclear reactor cannot detonate like a nuclear bomb. Nuclear reactors use controlled fission reactions to generate heat for electricity, while nuclear bombs use uncontrolled chain reactions to create an explosion. The design and purpose of a reactor prevent it from causing a nuclear explosion.
Highly unlikely if not altogether impossible. In a core meltdown, you might see a steam explosion if the core melts and breaches the containment structure and hits say cooling water. But even a runaway chain reaction in a reactor would not cause a nuclear explosion like a bomb.
It is a popular theory that the only animal that survives a nuclear explosion is the common roach, which by the way, considers twinkies to be it's favorite food. The roaches protect the twinkies from danger.
The range of a nuclear explosion can vary greatly depending on the size of the bomb and the environment in which it detonates. For example, a large nuclear bomb like the Tsar Bomba could have a range of over 50 miles for severe destruction, while smaller bombs may have a more limited range. The blast, heat, and radiation effects of a nuclear explosion can cause damage and casualties over a wide area.
While there are no sites that offer a contemplation of car explosion videos, some can be viewed at websites like YouTube as well as other types of explosions.
A nuclear explosion produces a significant release of energy, resulting in shockwaves and radiation that primarily affect the local environment. However, it does not create any substantial distortion of spacetime in the way that massive astronomical events, like black holes or neutron stars, do. While the explosion's energy can theoretically produce minor ripples in spacetime, these effects would be negligible and undetectable compared to cosmic phenomena. Thus, a nuclear explosion does not meaningfully affect the spacetime continuum.

There have been many nuclear explosion in the US in places like, Nevada and New Mexico. In anger against the US no. Japan still remains the only country in the world to be bomb in anger with nuclear weapons.
It did explode, but this was due to a surge in steam pressure which blew off the top of the reactor, it was not a nuclear explosion as in a nuclear weapon.
It severely damaged the reactor building and others on the power plant site, but outside the site no damage. Perhaps you think it was a nuclear explosion-it wasn't, it was a steam explosion and whilst it destroyed the reactor it didn't have anything like the blast and heat waves from a nuclear explosion.

First of all, EMPs don't really explode like a nuclear bomb. It releases alot of energy like a nuclear bomb. EMP's do not affect the body... that much.
This is not correct. Assuming "Using Nuclear Energy" means using it to generate electricity in a reactor. A nuclear reactor is a power plant, that uses nuclear fission to eventually generate electricity. An atom bomb also uses nuclear fission to generate energy causing an explosion. However, due to fundamental differences between the two a nuclear reactor cannot explode like an atom bomb.
