What Bikini Atoll Looks Like Today
So it appears that nature can actually recover quite well from severe nuclear explosions and contamination (viz research from the Atolls and Chernobyl etc.).  At least upon surface level examination.  Deformities in new born living creatures seems to revert back to near normal levels within 2 or 3 generations.  Trees and vegetation manage to eke out an existence and grow again.Hollywood producers who rely on the post armageddon 'nuclear winter wasteland' will have to go back to the drawing boards.Yet, I wonder what other long term genetic corruption will have occurred even in the surviving and supposedly thriving flora and fauna.  Are we subtly developing life forms that will be able to better withstand any sort of nuclear holocaust and thrive once we are long gone?EDIT: I am thinking the downvoters are reading the first paragraph of my post and not really getting to the last bit and getting the gist of what I am saying... ;)
