Still around.

Blates a Nuclear Attack warning system but TBH if the bombs are dropping, you want to be as close to it as possible. Vapourised in a split second, you won't even see or hear it. Lights out.

Your other options are 3rd degree burns, radiation poisoning, cancer or starvation so ... better to go with the bomb.
