There have been over a thousand nuclear explosions on Earth since they were invented. If you know how to use Google Earth, the very first nuclear explosion took place at the Trinity test site at 33o40'38"N 106o28'94"W. Type these numbers into the "fly to" window (33 40 37 N 106 28 29 W)" If you find this and your map is facing north, you can also see a small crater just below and to the right. This is where 100 tons of TNT (Tri-Nitro-Toluene) were exploded to calibrate the first atomic bomb. The first atomic bomb used in war was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6th1945. This was a uranium bomb. The second, and last used in war thankfully, was dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki 3 days later on August 9th. After that, many test explosions were detonated. The largest atomic bomb on Earth was detonated by the Soviet Union and was 57Megatons or the same as 57 million tons of TNT.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Chernobyl is in Russia.
because the bomb was designed to make it so.
You get a rather large explosion.
nuclear explosion?
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.
Nuking the sun is not possible with current technology. However, theoretically, if it were possible, the sun is so massive that a nuclear explosion would have negligible impact on it. The sun's nuclear fusion reactions are much more powerful than any man-made nuclear explosion.
Many things. I'd need more details on exactly what effects you are interested in to say.
no
