The structure of the compressed gas behind a plane steady shock generated as a result of nuclear explosion in the central region of the Galaxy has been computed. The temperature and density profiles are shown and the thickness of the different layers of the compressed region is calculated for different values of the parameters. The Jeans mass for gravitational collapse of the cold molecular layer accumulated behind the shock-front has been computed. It is found that for a lower initial density and comparatively weaker shocks formation of galactic clusters is more likely. On the other hand, the possibility of forming clusters behind strong shocks propagating through high density ambient gas can almost be ruled out.
