I am just curious to know, Is there a publically available catalogue of explosion occurred?
Just like the earthquake catalogue available from ISC or USGS or GCMT? Or a catalogue with the combination of both explosions and earthquake?
The USGS does maintain a catalog for other event types that are explosions - they currently list accidental, chemical, experimental, explosions, industrial, mining, nuclear and volcanic. I have used volcanic and know that there is at least some nuclear data.
I think that the existing seismic stations for published earthquake catalogue may have catched the explosion tremors. However, the data analysis and validation may play a role.

Dear Vivek.
I know that at CTBTO in Vienna they are working on the field of nuclear explosions. An alternate source might be the "Oklahoma geological Survey Observatory - Catalog of Nuclear Explosions". You might also consider to search for the key word "forensic seismology". Good luck!
With best regards, ALEX
You could try the International Seismological Centre's Ground Truth reference events catalogue http://www.isc.ac.uk/gtevents/
