If there are, which I doubt, they would not be public. Soviet atomic tests were not exactly tourist spectacles.

Go to http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/ and search for Most powerful nuclear explosion

They use frames, so I can't direct link to the pic (not easily anyway).

That most definately isn't it. Tsar Bomba's blast was visible at hundreds of miles from ground zero.

That pic might have been from the beginning of the blast. GWR is pretty damned accurate.

They probably used a photo from another test as a placeholder. I'm almost positive I've seen that on the former fas.org, which didn't have a shot of Tsar Bomba going boomboom
