A nuclear was is very unlikely.

It's not like conventional wars where people can go in afterward and profit from the war. There is no going in after a nuclear bomb is dropped.

30 km
Soviet authorities started evacuating people from the area around Chernobyl only on the second day after the disaster (after about 36 hours). By May 1986, about a month later, all those living within a 30 km (19 mi) radius of the plant (about 116,000 people) had been relocated.

In both cities the blast totally destroyed everything within a radius of 1 mile from the center of explosion, except for certain reinforced concrete frames as noted above. The atomic explosion almost completely destroyed Hiroshima's identity as a city.


Now think about how much power is in the modern bombs. The only thing we have to fear is a maniac who wants to end civilasation.
