Over 1200 nukes have been detonated above ground. All but 2 were tests. However, these 1200+ bombs show that a nuclear exchange doesn't over-radiate the earth in general. For those too close, it's not so healthy, though.

This doesn't account for fallout, only blast radius.

One of our former vice-presidents (forget who) had the solution. Just dig a shallow trench in the back yard and put a board over it! I mean, how simple can it be?!
