A pure fission bomb completes its detonation in less than 10 microseconds, the fireball reaches full size in a few milliseconds. A fusion bomb takes somewhat longer but is typically more powerful.
It can't explode like a nuclear bomb. It could have a steam explosion, as can any steam power plant. It is also possible for it to build up hydrogen gas if it runs too hot and damages its fuel rods, the hydrogen could explode.
the hydrogen bomb, is a nuclear bomb

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.
A bomb can be either conventional or nuclear.
1945
18th May1998, but its not atomic bomb (its nuclear bomb)
No
Yes.
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.
if you mean by split then yes one example of this would be a nuclear bomb.
The bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were atomic bombs and not nuclear bombs and were designed to explode above the ground and not on impact.
No, that is not correct.The correct spelling is explode.For example:They watched the bomb explode from a distance.The nuclear plant was about to explode.
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.
The French military explode their nuclear test bomb codenamed Aldébaran in Mururoa, their first nuclear test in the Pacific.
yes, several. all low yield underground test devices.
You left it in too long and it started a nuclear reaction, thus you can get a nuclear bomb by getting a bunch of cream of wheat.
