Does the prospect of nuclear disaster still frighten anyone these days?

If you live in the blast/firestorm zones, it'll be quick. For those in Butt-Fuck, Ks. or Middlanowhere, Id. not so much. Radiation poisoning's a slow painful way to die. Even if you're outside the blast/firestorm and fallout areas there will be massive disruption of all the infrastructure (natural gas, water, electricity, hospitals) we depend on to survive. Add in nuclear winter and possibly thinning of the ozone layer afterwards and you have a recipe for suffering rarely seen anywhere on this planet, all over the planet.

No, it won't be "fairly quick" except for those in immediate target areas.
