The worry maybe comes from somehow surviving the initial blast. For example, it's possible that no one is going to send nuclear bombs to McMurdo Station in Antarctica *. They'd likely survive the initial waves of attacks, but would be utterly cut off from the rest of the world for the rest of their lives. Or maybe they won't be cut off? Hard to know! What would you do if you were there in that situation? How long would you last? Basically, the second worst thing that could happen in nuclear war is *not* dying in the initial blast. It makes for an interesting discussion, which can lead some to worry depending on how the discussion ends. * Substitute Antarctica for any rural site that isn't within 100 miles of a ground zero.*
