Rinsing your hair with shampoo is critical after being exposed to radiation, but conditioner is a major no-no, according to the CDC.
That's because conditioners carry compounds called cationic surfactants, which bind to radioactive particles and can trap them in your hair. They'd essentially act like glue between your hair and radioactive material.

Wonder if that applies to X-rays

As I have gotten older I have gone from hoping I survive the initial barrage to hoping I am at ground zero for the first warhead to hit. I'd be happy just being a shadow burned into a wall.

Evacuate to Starkville.

In case of nuclear attack go to Sean Penn's house
He hasn't had a hit in years

This. If we have a bunch of nukes launching, better to be vaporized than slow death by radiation

I’m 10 miles away from Barksdale afb, how dead am I?
Seeing as how Barksdale is part of the nuclear Triad, I'll just say it will be the first and last midnight sunrise you will ever experience.
I'd say you'll be sizzling inside of 3 seconds...give or take.
But don't worry, it's a dry heat

Well Water..

Imagine wasting a nuke on Minot. A southerly wind wouldn't be able to scatter fallout to Bismark - it might kill some cows on the way though. And yeah, I get it - the big AFB. Anyone that has been to that town knows its there and how little is outside of the city limits.

Not that far. People in Vegas used to watch the nuclear bomb tests.

Here is an interesting fact: nukes would most likely be detonated prior to impact to inflict the maximum damage. If it strikes the surface of the earth, the blast is diminished, so lower troposphere is preferable. Fat Man over Nagasaki was detonated at an altitude of 1650 feet in the atmosphere.

How Far Away Would You Need to Be to Survive a Nuclear Blast?
I hope the mother fricker explodes over my house and vaporizes my arse. I have no desire to live in a post nuclear holocaust world.

Largest bomb ever detonated is the tsar bomba
Tsar Bomba was 60 years ago. Modern ones could be much more powerful. Hopefully we never see the new capabilities.

An idea of blast radius of Tsar Bomba from Wiki:
“All buildings in the village of Severny, both wooden and brick, located 55 km (34 mi) from ground zero within the Sukhoy Nos test range, were destroyed. In districts hundreds of kilometres from ground zero, wooden houses were destroyed, stone ones lost their roofs, windows, and doors, and radio communications were interrupted for almost one hour. One participant in the test saw a bright flash through dark goggles and felt the effects of a thermal pulse even at a distance of 270 km (170 mi). The heat from the explosion could have caused third-degree burns 100 km (62 mi) away from ground zero. A shock wave was observed in the air at Dikson settlement 700 km (430 mi) away; windowpanes were partially broken for distances up to 900 kilometres (560 mi). Atmospheric focusing caused blast damage at even greater distances, breaking windows in Norway and Finland.”
