A statement relating to a speculatively unfeasible activity in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, where Jones climbs into a fridge during a nuclear explosive test. It's also a synonym for "jumping the shark".
However, contrary to popular belief, nuking the fridge is feasible.
The fridge in the scene is lead-lined, so Jones is shielded from the initial burst of radiation. However, some have pointed out that the fridge is still in the radiated zone, so 20 years are off of his life, except they aren't. Remember, he drunk from the Grail, so the remainder of its power is dissipated when it shields him from radiation.

Normal Guy: Hey, you think the nuking the fridge is a feasible scene?
Responder: Nah, it can't be. How can he survive a nuclear blast from a fridge?
Intellectual: Actually it is. The fridge is a) lead-lined and b) sturdily built. So yeah, it is feasible!
Responder: Then what about the radiation? How's he not losing 20 years off his life?
Intellectual: Quite simply. He drank from the grail, remember? The power he gained from that dissipated protecting him from it.
Normal Guy: Huh. Never knew it was.

Get the Nuking the fridgemug. A very big, very dangerous or concerning looming threat or danger. It doesn't have to be a large scale danger (like a war) or involve literal nukes, but could also be something that could involve severe emotional devastation or an unrecoverable argument between friends (Like mentioning a topic that could give someone a major panic/anxiety attack).
Person A: Why don't you talk about (game) in this chat?
Person B: Well, I am a fan of that game, but one of my friends has a really big anxiety trigger involving it, so I don't mention it out of respect.
Person A: Thank God you told me, that could've been a nuke in the sand.

Get the Alone and Nuke Supremacymug. Probably one of the coolest people to ever exist. His arrival to earth killed the dinosaurs, his fart caused the Chernobyl melt down, and his sneezes caused the devastating destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII, which the USA later claimed responsibility for.
Person one: “have you ever heard of Nuke Bowen?”
Person two: “You mean The Nuke? Hell yeah I’ve heard of him!”
