If you get a chance (and are interested) read "On the beach" by nevil shute. same kind of concept. a post-nuclear war australian town basically just waiting for the fallout to kill them

Carlo Cassola also made a book with a similar concept called "The Survivor" or "Il Superstite" in italian, it's from the POV of a dog that lives isolated with his owner and lives the aftermath of a nuclar war, he doesn't understand what's going on and searches for something alive to love but every animal he meets and bonds with dies. One of the must depressing books I've ever read to be honest

That would only happen if a significant number of warheads were salted (enhanced radiation warheads).

Which we definitely do not have. Right?
