Actually, according to my father-in-law with the Ph.d in nuclear physics, if you're under the bomb on the surface when it goes off in the atmosphere, you get vaporized. If you're underground....then you die of radiation poisioning. But you're right, it wouldn't be fun in either case.

LOL! I was thinking a bit further away than that! So yes, if you are in the blast zone you fry. I was thinking more of a few miles out.
