Comments thus far would appear to be fatalistic, and I agree that's the right response if things kick off and the big three launch salvos of megaton-class weapons...
But what if there is a more limited exchange, such as NK hitting London with a single 150kt class device?
Assuming an air-burst there'd be very little fall-out, and the rest of the UK would be fine... except that the EMP from the blast would probably have fused anything with a semiconductor that wasn't sealed inside a metal box...
So most of the population would be alive, but lacking electricity.
Greetings. "Doomsday" seems to occur quite often, and some of us do take it quite seriously, only because it does influence the behaviour of other people. I would like to be out of the city, beside the Ocean, at the very least...
