As for the saving of ones life, yes, this might aide that somewhat, but you must also consider Wind Patterns to a tremendous degree (In terms of Radioactive fallout), and Pressure Systems (High Pressure allows for less build-up and Upper-atmospheric dispersal). Terrain is also a HUGE factor as well.

Every bomb wiped it off the map!
Kind of funny. I wonder what effect mountains would have on a nuclear blast?
The meteor one...took out all of southeast alaska!

In round figures, "0". Doesn't get much rounder than that. They built and tested ONE, and it was so expensive and unpredictable, and just plain scary, that they never built another. They couldn't even pin down just exactly how powerful it was, had to estimate the explosive force, and so determined it was useless on top of everything else.
You ought to see the video of the explosion, though!

I checked this out and im pretty surprised.
I was always under the impression that nukes covered far more ground.
Looks like id be fine from initial blasts from any city near me unless it was an asteroid, then id be toast.
Its the fallout thats the worst part anyways is it not?
