If the added velocities of the debris were unidirectional (along the debris's orbital velocity) then increasing their velocity enough would result in them breaking free of orbit. But I doubt that you would be able to do either in reality (not to mention detonating nuclear bombs in space seems like a bad idea regardless of any other factors).
