you clearly do not understand nuclear fallout or the effects of radiation which last for hundreds of years. People who got radiated 50 or so years ago for various reasons, usually medical, got cancer 30 or more years later. Nuclear would be the beginning of the end for all of us

And radiation is worse for the young cells of children. But that wouldn't stop anyone would it?

I understand it better than you do, if you think that it would make the planet any more unlivable than it has been after hundreds of atmospheric tests of nuclear weapons in the past. You need to stop reading Carl Sagan and start reading competent nuclear health physicists.

Actually, I have read a lot about radiation and health. I have studied x-ray physics. I don't think you have interpreted whatever you read correctly. Either that or you read some things that were a bit off.

It didn't take more than high school physics.

like I said previously, you do not seem to understand how radiation affects cells of people. Including gamma radiation.
