no because it might but the point of raidioactivity it weakons further out like this number counts for intenisty
100 50 25 12.5 6.25 and so on
so it might burn it off at one houndred but later on you would get evidence

Those fun-loving Russians once detonated a bomb they called "the Czar" which yielded 58 megatons. The shock wave was still measurable on its third trip around the world. To this day it remains the single biggest man-made explosion. Because of the way they work, nuclear weapons HAVE to produce radioactive by-products like gamma rays and a whole slew of isotopes like strontium-90 and cesium 134. Fusion weapons like the Czar and even the weaker fission weapons like the ones that flattened Japanese cities rearrange the nuclei of various elements and you get radioactive fallout. This is why the cold war never got "hot". The politicians knew that using them would mean their own destruction. They're just too nasty.

Nuclear explosion is caused due to spitting up of radioactive elements. And the more bigger the explosion more larger will be the radius of the effect of the radioactivity...

This would infer creating a self sustaining nuclear reaction as the sun is composed of. It's possible but I don't think we have the present technology to actually create a star which is exactly what such an explosion would involve.

No, because nuclear explosions both affect the things around them (making them radioactive) and leave behind remains. Larger explosions affect more things around them, and leave behind more remains. The sun, a rather large fusion reaction, remains in the sky slowly filling with those remains as it burns hydrogen.

Not really. The byproducts of a fission reaction don't just 'vaporize'. Same for a fusion reaction.

EDIT: Note for kevpet2005. Yeah they did. And it actually caused the entire Kamchatka penninsula to -move- by several millimeters. They scared themselves real good with that one âº

no,.is not possible the intense nuclear explosion ,will buns everything .it will do Moore radioactive moor destructive, and Moore poisoners aria

I don't think so. The explosion pushes out the fission fragments so it would just push out the fragments faster and probably have more of them.

No, that is impossible because the more intense the more radiation you will have.
