What will happen if we detonate a nuclear bomb inside a volcano

Little Donnie wanted to nuke a hurricane but hurricanes are so powerful you would need to detonate several hundred nuclear warheads in order to successfully destroy one or push away it's trajectory. So that got me thinking, what if we detonate a B83 inside of a volcano? For reference the B83 is currently the most powerful nuke in the US arsenal. Would the nuke create enough force to cause a volcanic eruption? Would the mountain crumble beneath all of the force? Would the lava and flowing gases be irradiated and permanently destroy all life near the volcano?

    It would become a nuclear volcano and would likely end all life on earth since volcano ash travels extremely far distances in the atmosphere and would be contaminated with nuclear radiation It would also likely trigger earthquakes and tsunamis It would be Chernobyl reactors exploding but a million times worse Since it’s a volcano and as I said the ash would travel across the globe spreading deadly radiation The ash would kill everything it touches basically since it would be soaked with nuclear radiation It would be Armageddon to sum it up The explosion would definitely cause the volcano to erupt by force alone
