Common causes. A gas explosion occurs when the gas/air mixture reaches a critical value, then any spark, flame or heat source can ignite the mixture. The explosion is caused when the rapidly expanding, burning gas is confined and builds up pressure. As the pressure builds, something has to give, and in a home gas explosion it is usually the windows.
Nuclear explosion. A 23 kiloton tower shot called BADGER, fired on April 18, 1953 at the Nevada Test Site, as part of the Operation UpshotâKnothole nuclear test series. The Greenhouse George test early fireball. A nuclear explosion is an explosion that occurs as a result of the rapid release of energy from a high-speed nuclear reaction.
