save for debris of the nuke itself
this is vapor fyi. the nuke and whatever was immediately around it are atomized, literally.
Follow up question. If I build a giant vacuum chamber on earth and ignited a nuke in the middle of it, what would happen to the blast?
Would the chamber just explode with the full power of the nuke or would it remain unharmed (save for debris of the nuke itself)?

It’s plasma, not gas. It’s a different state of matter.

sure, but it’s not debris.

It’s still matter, with a mass and a velocity, and thus kinetic energy.

All the radiation that normally heats up the surrounding air into a giant fireball would heat up the walls of your vacuum chamber into a giant fireball.
