I found this the other evening. Many of you may already have it, but I felt it was accurate and up-to-date enough to give a pretty clear idea of the areas that would be most impacted from a partial or total nuclear war - the cause of which can be debated elsewhere.
Compiled by FEMA and others, it is their best guess as to what would be targeted by the enemy in 2 nuclear scenarios, 1 - 2000 device attack and 2 - 500 device attack. Knowing Russia has more than 20000 nuclear devices, understand that the maps implication is most-likely best-case scenario no matter the scale.
There is reason to believe that radiation from such an attack will not be a concern due to the use of nuclear fusion weapons. These provide all the bang (some say more) of a fission nuke, but with a fraction of the harmful, long-term radiation. The land and fixtures will remain usable and habitable. If you can survive the heat and blast waves, you have a good chance of surviving the worst.
