In The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan notoriously crashed an actual plane for a scene in which the film's antagonist Bane (Tom Hardy) is introduced. In Oppenheimer, Nolan will recreate the events of the first-ever nuclear explosion. About the film's most important scene, Nolan said that no CGI has been used.

"This probably wouldn't have got much attention in Japan if it was just random fans on the internet making memes. This really went viral when Japanese Twitter users started sharing tweets from the Barbie movie's official Twitter account that were cheerfully engaging with a-bomb Barbenheimer memes."
Okay, one problem, which may ruin your entire project. Nuclear fireballs rise to almost their full height in several milliseconds. They then rise further into the atmosphere. Not really much you can do on those time frames. The resulting shockwave travels faster than the speed of sound. There are also several levels of power. One could have an explosion like
