Also, being that there is a good possibility that the humans responsible for the detonation of the nuke would all be killed if it harmed or killed a vampire, it wouldn't be worth it to those people. ^^^ The Tsar bomb was the most powerful weapon humans have ever successfully detonated. If a vampire were to be in the immediate fireball when a weapon like that exploded, in my opinion, they would probably be killed in the million plus degree temperature. However the fact is, that was the MOST POWERFUL weapon ever invented by humans. It was 1400 times more powerful than the blast at Hiroshima. The fireball is nearly two miles in diameter. While the average nuclear weapon nowadays only has a fireball radius of a few hundred meters. A weapon like Tsar would NEVER be used in or near an area with a human population, being that it could do severe damage to humans 70 miles from its detonation. The much likelier (but still highly unlikely) situation would be the detonation of a more traditional nuclear bomb to try and destroy a vampire or vampires living in a single area. In this situation, the vampire(s) have a much better chance of survival being that they would only have to move a few hundred meters to avoid theoretically being burnt to a crisp (which would happen in seconds). This is also assuming that the vampire(s) are in that immediate zone and they are aware of the potential danger. ^ IF it's a nuclear MISSILE that is aimed to detonate near the vampire, I'm fairly confident the vampire would sense it immediately. Remember in Breaking Dawn when Bella is hunting with Jacob and Renesmee, and she catches Irina glaring down at her from really far away on a mountain? Irina is presumably miles away and totally motionless, and still Bella seems to sense the danger before she consciously realizes it. If she could sense a motionless person from miles away, it would be impossible for her not to sense a missile rather conspicuously flying towards her. This being said, vampire minds work so fast, their reflexes are so uncanny, that sensing the bomb, realization of the danger, and the urge to flee would all occur in a vampire in the smallest fraction of a second, and they would already be gone. This of course is presuming the bomb is a visible missile, which would be the most likely scenario (still unlikely). If the bomb was grounded and hidden, and in the vampires immediate vicinity (within a few hundred yards), there would be a good chance that vampire would be harmed or even killed. This would lead to several possible scenarios, most of them leading to the deaths of thousands or even millions of humans, and the deaths of the humans responsible for the blast, as well as the destruction of known nuclear weapons by the Volturi. You're right. It wouldn't be worth it.
