[Harry Potter] Did the Wizarding World have any awareness of the power of the nuclear bomb, and how dangerous it could be? Have Wizards and Witches put in danger or killed by nuclear weapons before?

I'm asking because Ronald Weasley appears to be pretty much one of the only Wizards who is interested in Muggle technology. And yet, it would seem that the Wizarding World (with its bureaucracies and hierarchies, some of which are explicitly kept around in order to keep watch on the Muggle world) would do well do fully understand Muggle technology, given that much of the world around them is disproportionately (in a very physical way) created, and changed, by Muggles using their technology.

So what gives? What about things like nuclear weapons, or Love Canal, and so on, things that affect the natural environment much more than most other things? Would a Wizard/Witch just magic the mess away or something?

Nuclear bombs specifically haven't been used as actual weapons since the 40s, and even tests are rare. Most muggles consider them more abstract deterrents then something anyone would seriously consider using. You can't exactly blame wizards, who know less about the context and details, for assuming the same thing. Dangerous in principle, but not a threat worth seriously considering.

As for large scale alternations of the world via technology- the wizards know about it, sure. But what should they do? They're pretty secure they *could* magic the mess away, if push comes to shove, and that arrogance means they're mostly content to let the muggles do what they will.
