You might be surprised at how survivable the post bomb is. Fallout can be avoided. Radiation around the site would be bad, but the death toll would take years, not weeks.
Actually, no. Radiation syndrome is a matter of days, weeks and months, depending on the dose of radiation and which organs affected.
That’s what I’m wondering about. How many will be exposed or potentially have been exposed to high doses of ionizing radiation?
Do you know if there are any estimates?
