If it was really “radiation proof”, it would never get off of the ground even with 12 engines, and collapse of its own weight anyway.

Not the plane per-say; the electronic components. All the chips used in the space program are rad-hardened, built to “space level” specs. Otherwise these chips would fail in very short order. But, if you’re referring to survivability from a direct or near nuclear explosion; then you’re right. Nothing will survive that.
