Thanks for your input. So, Puny Humans, who called me a “Butthead”, would be in serious radiation immediately and radiation will be his buddy for one to two years. That sounds good, so when is newbie Punny Humans leaving for this healthy climate he will be in if a nuclear bomb blows up?

Guess what! You live with radiation EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE. And radiation from a nuclear attack is NOT going to kill you after waiting things out for a certain amount of time.
“Radioactive fallout from a nuclear explosion, though very dangerous initially, loses its intensity quickly because it is giving off so much energy. For example, fallout emitting gamma ray radiation at a rate over 500 R/hr (fatal with one hour of exposure) shortly after an explosion, weakens to only 1/10th as strong 7 hours later. Two days later, it’s only 1/100th as strong, or as deadly, as it was initially.”
And please stop insulting me as if I am inviting a nuclear attack on the United States. My reply was to concerns that nuking North Korea would destroy the South.
There are three main types of radiation you need to worry about in a nuclear accident, alpha and beta radiation can be stopped by almost any solid material and the risk here is from breathing in radioactive dust. The next is gamma and the majority of this disappears in 100 days.
