Tsar Bomba (King of bombs) is the nickname for the AN602 hydrogen bomb, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated on October 30, 1961 over the Mityushikha Bay nuclear testing range, Novaya Zemlya Island in the Arctic Sea. It yielded 50 Megatons, equivalent to 50 million tonnes of TNT, though was originally designed to be a 100 Megaton bomb. Despite it's power, it's use was impractical, since it could not easily be delivered to a far off target area. It was mainly built to display Russia's power during the cold war.
A 50MTon bomb detonated at optimal airburst altitude has a blast radius of 60 miles. But I believe the Tzar Bomba was detonated low to minimize damage zone.

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.
Nuclear explosion in Germany in 1990-1992?
There were no reports of a nuclear explosion in Germany between 1990-1992. Germany does not have a history of nuclear weapons testing and there have been no instances of nuclear explosions in the country during that time period.
Has a nuclear explosion happened on November 6 2010?
There is no record of a nuclear explosion occurring on November 6, 2010. If there had been a nuclear explosion, it would likely have been a significant event that would be widely documented.
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.
How fast is a nuclear explosion?
The explosion itself is over within a few microseconds, but it takes milliseconds to seconds for the fireball to expand to full size. The blast wave travels as a supersonic shock wave. Fires ignite later, mostly from fire sources knocked over or broken by the blast (the blast blows out initial direct flash fires before they can spread).
What are the method of controlling nuclear explosion?

no.
How far away can you see a nuclear explosion and what factors determine the visibility of such an event?
The visibility of a nuclear explosion depends on various factors such as the size of the explosion, weather conditions, and the observer's distance from the blast. Generally, a nuclear explosion can be seen from tens to hundreds of miles away, depending on these factors.
What is meant by nuclear cold test?
testing without nuclear explosion
What games have nuke explosion in them?
There are many games that involve nuclear explosion. The most highly rated game to feature a nuclear explosion as its main theme, was the popular game Half Life.
