Of the roughly 270k fatalities most were from the blunt force trauma (shockwave) and heat wave created by igniting the bombs not radiation. The lethal doses received at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were only possible during initial exposure when the immediate area was saturated by high energy particles. Radiation levels rapidly dropped and had returned to normal in a month on the ground.
? I don’t think you grasp what is being discussed here.
I’m not saying that if you were burned by nuclear fire it would disipate away I’m saying that if you avoided being irradiated for the first few weeks after detonation you had avoided all of the fallout risk.
Well, the 300 000 civilians who died because of the bombs weren’t involved, so I’m guessing they didn’t care.

So all the decades of horrible consequences are ‘normal’?
