I think they would, as that's one of the ways to make zombies.

Radiation makes Zombies? Well, that makes sense, especially since it was done on the Simpsons. But if a horde of the undead were in the blast, would they survive? I could only assume they would be destroyed.

Radiation makes mutants, not zombies. Totally different rules of engagement!
However, if someone detonated a warhead filled with a zombie virus over the city, then you'd have massive zombie armies.

Fallout, yes, extreme heat from the blast, no...
Anyway... didn't the Return of the Living Dead series have nuclear created zombies?

Or worse...if you used a warhead to attempt to kill the zombies, and they survived...
Then we're being attacked by MUTANT ZOMBIES?

It can always get worse. As is known by anyone who's ever had the misfortune of watching Ed Wood's Plan Nine From Outer Space. Because after scrapping the first eight plans, apparently aliens decided that the best way to take over earth was with three spaceships and an army of a couple zombies that look like they're dressed to impress (at least for the 50's).
Who doesn't feel threatened by Vampira and Tor Johnson?
...heheh. Had to post it just for the pointy boobs.

Hmm good question...
...
The question is, can you kill an undead entity?
An entity that is capable of manifesting an animate state... couldn't that be considered in some way or another as being alive? Even if you're somehow being controlled by some strange force...
(Shuffles away the possible philosophical debate, that sadly could take place in my mind do to the direction taken above... and seriously, their just zombies)
Anyway, I have no idea if "killing"(? seriously; it makes you wonder) a Zombie is considered murder or not. Is it morally correct? Again, I do not know... It certainly never stopped me from participating in its genocide.

Zombies are sort of "alive", since they can relate to their environment, they must eat to sustain themselves and so on.
So the "zombie trigger" (whatever turns them into zombies) just brings their bodies back to life. Of course their brains are completely ruined and have been deprived of oxigen for a while since they died, but still, I consider zombies to be more "alive" than "dead". They were dead at some point, but not now.
And what about "Las Plagas" (RE4)?!?!?
Those guys never really died, they are more intelligent than your average zombie and they insult you in spanish!
THERE IS NO HOPE
WAIT!
THERE IS! GET THE SHOTGUN NOW!
