Science of Radioactive Survivors (1983: Doomsday)



This is my first proposition for 1983:DD, so here goes.

I was thinking about my limited knowledge of the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and I recall hearing a story of someone seeing melting skin. Literally melting skin, the radiation had horrible affects on the people living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That made me think, dozens and dozens of nukes were dropped in this scenario, but no one has seemed to care about the effects on the popluation hit by the nukes. You have simply said, Chicago was nuked: everyone in Chicago is dead. Well what if that was not so? What if the radiation hadn't killed people but changed them, maybe mutated them? How does a government react to these people? Think of the humanitarian issues this would raise. Maybe this could shed a different light on something that seems to be dying, history could be rewritten because of the reactions to these people. Just a thought on something that I think should be covered in this game.
