    Nukes need high explosives. The most modern ones use extremely stable explosives but some of the Cold War era accidents in the US often did go boom but not BOOOOOOOM.

    Still bad exploding weapons-grade radioactive material. Thankfully not as bad as a nuclear explosion.

      Pardon me sir, but I did say “boom boom” which is roughly equivalent to one “BOOOOOOOM”, assuming we’re using the metric system.

      If we’re you’re using imperial boom scale, then frankly you disgust me.
