I did always wonder about the physics of exploding a nuke in space.

I think if a nuc detonated on outside the ship, you would get the thermal and radioactive effects but without the concussion effects. (no atmosphere, nothing to push against)

Cf.
NUKES IN SPACE, narrated by William Shatner.
I have this on DVD. Pretty good, but a little thin on the science. From our historical perspective, it seems incredible that they were doing this.
