So, you probaply all know that when lightning strikes, all surface blocks are lit up (or, due to how the lightmap works, not actually lit up). I suggest for this to happen whenever a nuke goes off, however with a yellow glow instead of a harsh white one. This would only apply to nukes, and not to reactors, as reactors explode in a "normal" explosion, that is contaminated with radioactive material.
Nuke explosion glow (like lightning)

i'm not exactly sure if you can change the color of lighting.
-
It reminds me of radiation, which was not implemented due high CPU calculations , and no reason to implement.
-
could simply code it as Yellow snow that's on fire without the fire effect
-
why not just apply a white overlay to the players camera that slowly fades back to normal to simulate flash blindness it would be much eaiser to code than messing with block lighting also add a high pitched tone kinda like how you code a flashbang in a first person shooter.
