In my Army time we were trained to survive and recover from nuclear strikes.
Three things to be aware of
- Light; very bright, don't look at the explosion.
- Heat; hot but apparently you could save yourself with a sheet of newspaper held up (I always wondered about my fingers on the wrong side as I held it up)
- Blast; first effect was air travelling away from the explosion, you dodged this by lying down behind a low wall (high wall was no good because the top would fall down and crush you). Then second effect was air rushing back in, so you had to then leap over the low wall.
Nobody said much about the radiation danger, presumably we were British so it did not affect us.
