Nuclear explosions happen for many reasons:
An uncontrolled chain reaction (fission reaction) occurs with uranium 238,
A fission reaction is where 1 large nucleus (centre of an atom) splits up into 2 or more smaller nuclei giving off neutrons. These neutrons then hit another nucleus changing it into smaller nuclei and so on. e.g. (chain reaction)

When and what explosion? One of the nuclear test shots. If so which?Remember Chernobyl was not a nuclear explosion, it was a steam explosion and graphite fire.
There has never been a nuclear explosion in the state of Texas
The first ever nuclear explosion was a test in New Mexico in 1945
The test was codenamed Trinity, the device was codenamed Gadget.
Trinity - nuclear test - happened on 1945-07-16.
No. Chernobyl is in Russia.
because the bomb was designed to make it so.
You get a rather large explosion.

Nuking the sun is not possible with current technology. However, theoretically, if it were possible, the sun is so massive that a nuclear explosion would have negligible impact on it. The sun's nuclear fusion reactions are much more powerful than any man-made nuclear explosion.
Many things. I'd need more details on exactly what effects you are interested in to say.
no
a nuclear explosion
No, a nuclear explosion on a nuclear power plant would not cause the explosion radius to increase. The explosion radius would be determined by the yield of the nuclear weapon itself, not by the presence of the power plant.
There were no reports of a nuclear explosion in Germany between 1990-1992. Germany does not have a history of nuclear weapons testing and there have been no instances of nuclear explosions in the country during that time period.
There is no record of a nuclear explosion occurring on November 6, 2010. If there had been a nuclear explosion, it would likely have been a significant event that would be widely documented.
