I'm not sure if intensity is the correct word...
Anyways, if two nuclear warheads were dropped on one spot, does the explosive effect double in that spot but cover the radius as if only one bomb was dropped, or would the effect be consistent but span out to cover twice the blast radius?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

I assume you mean at the same spot at the same time. There would be twice as much energy coming from the same spot, so the effect would cover twice the area.
But ... it is almost impossible to get two nuclear warheads to explode at the same time at all near each other. Even kilometers apart, the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from the first one will fry the electronics on the second, which makes it fail to explode. This is a serious consideration for war planners, especially for an airplane with multiple bombs on board. When they drop the first one, they have to get out of range of the explosion and EMP before it goes off, or all the other bombs on board will be ruined (and also the airplane electronics). Which is why the bomb is dropped by parachute.
