I think it's possible that a vampire could be harmed or even killed in a nuclear blast. But I seriously doubt that a vampire would just sit there while a nuclear missile came flying at them, especially when all they would have to do was to dart out of the immediate blast vicinity. But you're right, humans would never set off a nuke in a populated area just to possibly kill one vampire. The resulting death toll and nuclear fallout would be too devastating. But there would be something even more deadly than fallout if this occurred- the deceased vampire's mate. Assuming the vampire did parish in the blast and he/she did have a mate, that mate wouldn't rest until the humans responsible were all slaughtered. Regardless of their power and references, those humans would all be dead. The Volturi may even get involved, destroying any nuclear bombs they could find. This situation could actually even result in the exposure of the vampire race.
