In a Marvel Comic, Iceman freezes a nuclear explosion. Could such a feat be quantified?

Prevent it from explode isn't quantificable, counter it, welp, look at the scene would be necesary.

The nuclear reactor exploded and he froze the explosion.

It doesn't seems nor sound like a explosion if not a nuclear melt down; it could be, howevee, calculated, would be changing temperatures from 6000┬░C to below 0┬░C in an area, but don't known how calculate that at all, and I have no PC to do scaling.

Well, I just assumed that an explosion produced by a nuclear core meltdown would be a small-scale nuclear explosion.

Is kinda different: rather to stop a shockwave and a instantaneous fire blast, he just freeze a continuos fire. It can still yield good results.

High-end Tier 8 to Low-end Tier 7, would you say?
Also a pretty good speed feat since he's reacting to the detonation.

Can't tell, I'm not familiarized with this kind of feat.
Can't neither tell if this is a good reaction feat, it was a meltdown, not exactly a detonation; even if it is, shockwaves doesn't travel that high, a 20 psi shockwave only travel at 120 m/s iirc. He, however, froze the meltdown before the girl notice that, but that is more related to the temperature of the ice, that would makes them below absolute 0.

It was clearly an explosion. And done through nuclear fusion, too.

Can't tell, I'm not good with nuclear non-explosion stuff (or when it doesn't appear like that), you would need to ask to another member, Gwyn is good with this kind of stuff (temperature stuff), you can ask him.

Doesnt he have Absolute Zero ?
