Remenber your rules of 7 when caclulating fallout. First 7 hours is the worst, then 2 days later 1/10th, two weeks after that, 1/10th and 14 weeks later, again 1/10th. So after 14 weeks a 6000 r/hr is only 6 r/hr. And these levels would only be near G-zero.

Assuming no second strikes or followup waves of targeting after an initial flight of ICBMs, then a discharge of submarine or other ocean-going vessels as they move within firing range, followed by last-ditch single or multiple aircraft raids on secondary or tertiary targets deserving of additional treatment.

And, of course, possible local contamination from fratricide of incoming missiles, or targeting of commercial nuclear reactor facilities.
