Hey-
it is your choice to put particles in, they may make it looks slightly more "realistic" but to get a convincing look it will take a lot of tweaking. I suggest to get the blast ring, create the ring primitive as 3DZealot suggested, and for the mushroom cloud check out this tutorial http://www.omind.net/
If a good texture is aplied to the ring wave it can be very realistic, and convincing. I suggest you try it first. then if you need a better effect, move to particles.
