Can one prepare?

Not really. The only preparation that matters is preventing it from happening in the first place. Should one go off, all bets are off depending on various factors: airburst/surface, type of material, winds, etc.

I've had some pretty interesting conversations with people in the nuclear field, including many from one of the homes of the Manhattan Project; Oak Ridge, TN. With many of the players in the radiation/nuclear field locally, there is lots of information and perspectives, but the consensus is generally that prevention is best hope.

If anyone wants to see what the effect of a detonation on their area, here's a reference site: NukeMap
