Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Are new hydrogen atoms created in a nuclear explosion, and could we detect them?

I attended a conference last Saturday in which we were shown the proposals for a new super hadron collider not far from the current LHC and it made me wonder if a controlled nuclear fission explosion could produce the energy and conditions to actually create new hydrogen atoms and if so could we study them. In particular how they form. Given that we can test weapons safely underground could it be possible to build such test facility to compete both in terms of finance and usefulness to the very LHC?
