Since all the auxiliary parts of the bomb are instantly vaporized, there may be little solid waste left. However, if the vapor does not expand fast enough, or cools quickly, liquids and solids may nucleate again and cause a problem. Another point is that any waste exceeding the escape velocity of Earth will disappear quickly. So what will exactly happen? Is it safe to detonate a nuclear bomb in outer space without jeopardizing the space industry?
